Among many landmark verdicts and settlements, Aitken obtained a $54-million verdict on behalf of a nine-year-old girl (recognized as the highest individual injury award against the Federal Government) following a trial against the U.S. government as a result of an auto collision that occurred when a federal employee ran a red light and broadsided the car in which she was riding.
