Mr. Leighton has obtained some of the largest verdicts and settlements in Florida.  He recently filed the first lawsuit arising out of the 14 deaths at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, where elderly residents were left in stifling heat at a nursing home following Hurricane Irma. Leighton also fought for passage of the first parasailing safety law in the United States, following the parasailing catastrophe which took the life of his client’s daughter and left the sister with brain damage.
