The Haggard Law Firm’s Douglas McCarron and Kimberly Wald have obtained a $7,509,000 verdict following a three-day trial in Alachua County, FL.

The trial involved a shooting that occurred at the Swamp Car Wash in Gainesville. Prior to trial, the Defendant, Kokomo Key Properties Inc., only offered $250,000 to resolve this matter despite having a larger insurance policy.

On May 22, 2021, Bobby Hopkins went to a self-service car wash when he and an acquaintance got into a dispute which led to Bobby getting shot and ultimately passing away. The car wash had a history of violent crime at its property and the owners failed to take any steps to protect their customers, such as hiring off-duty police to protect the patrons of the car wash.

The Haggard Law Firm is pleased to have obtained justice for this deserving family and to hold business owners accountable to secure and protect their properties.
