Mr. Hanumadass is honored each and every time a client asks him to be their voice and takes that moral and legal responsibility seriously. He believes in the adages of his high school cross-country coach, Mr. Newton, who taught him that “While it’s nice to be great, it’s great to be nice” and “The greatest thing in life is not in never having fallen, but in rising up again.” Pursuing justice on behalf of his clients and living up to Mr. Newton’s beliefs gives him a driving sense of purpose to do his very best.

Case Results

  • $243 Million Verdict Against Tesla in fatal Autopilot crash

    A federal jury in Florida has ordered Tesla to pay $243 million in damages over a 2019 crash involving its Autopilot system. Brett Schreiber, Partner at Singleton Schreiber and lead counsel for the plaintiffs, emphasized Tesla’s negligence, stating, “Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere… Today’s verdict represents justice for Naibel’s tragic death and Dillon’s lifelong injuries.” This marks the first time the company has been held liable in a wrongful death trial related to its driver-assist technology. The crash killed Naibel Benavides Leon and left Dillon Angulo with permanent injuries. The ruling could have sweeping implications for future litigation and the broader autonomous vehicle industry.

  • Jury Awards $600,000 to Injured San Diego Veteran in Gym Negligence Case

    Singleton Schreiber secured a $600,000 settlement on behalf of a client who was severely injured at a local gym. While walking toward his favorite treadmill, another patron on a Stairmaster, moving with momentum and without looking behind him, crashed into our client. The impact caused our client to fall, breaking his hip and wrist, both of which required emergency surgery. Despite the gym initially downplaying its responsibility, the medical and liability evidence was compelling, and the defense agreed to settle the full amount before trial.
