In 2016, at the age of 37, Benjamin P. Cloward became the youngest lawyer in the history of the State of Nevada to be awarded the prestigious “Trial Lawyer of the Year” by the Nevada Justice Association. That same year, he became the youngest member of the Nevada, Las Vegas Chapter of ABOTA (American Board of Trial Advocates), and at the time was also the youngest person in the State of Nevada to be Board Certified as a Personal Injury Specialist. He has received many additional recognitions including being AV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell and receiving a perfect 10.0 by . He has been featured in several magazines in Nevada for his accomplishments and hard work.. Just recently, in February of 2020, Ben obtained a $38 million dollar jury verdict, which is believed to be the largest ever negligent security for wrongful death in the State of Nevada and was the 2nd largest wrongful death verdict in the entire United States in 2020. Other verdicts Ben has obtained include a $15 million dollar jury verdict in 2016 on behalf of a family whose disabled son Harvey was allowed to choke to death on a paratransit bus. That verdict was upheld in a unanimous decision after four years of contentious appellate litigation with the final judgment ballooning to nearly $21 million dollars. The defense in that case never formally offered a single penny. After obtaining the verdict, Ben continued working on the safety issue that led to Harvey’s death and with the help of many other people got “Harvey’s Law” passed in Nevada in 2017, which required certain training for all paratransit bus drivers to ensure others were protected. In 2016, Ben also obtained a $12.9 million dollar jury verdict for a family whose life had been altered by a drunk driver that injured the mother and killed the daughter. He also obtained a $10 million dollar settlement for a client who was significantly injured from a fall which resulted in a moderate brain injury. Ben has obtained multiple soft-tissue, low visible property damage jury verdicts including a $2.98 million dollar jury verdict in 2018, a $1,075,000 verdict in 2014 and several 6 figure verdicts where Ben obtained verdicts over 180 times greater than the defense offers prior to trial. Other notable results on behalf of his clients include a $27.5 million settlement against Greyhound Lines Inc. and a $20 million dollar settlement against Jacuzzi Luxury Bath, dba Jacuzzi, Inc. and First Street for Boomers & Beyond, Inc. Also, he recently obtained an $8 million dollar jury verdict against FedEx Ground Package Inc.

He has tried to verdict cases in both State and Federal Court in Utah and Nevada.. Ben successfully argued the Khoury v. Seastrand, 133 Nev. Adv. Op. 52 (July 28, 2016) case which was a huge victory for all injured Nevadans because it rejected the Howell-doctrine, which allows negligent people who caused harm to get a discount when they hit responsible citizens who carried personal health insurance.. Ben is a graduate of the famed Gerry Spence Trial Lawyer’s College and believes as does Gerry that “It all begins with you . . .” Ben served on the board for a nonprofit company called the Loa Fund, which focuses on providing financial assistance to those who struggle with addiction to receive help through wilderness therapy and other addiction recovery programs.

Chris Regan's practice focuses on complex litigation, trial work and appeal. Chris has obtained substantial jury verdicts, including multi-million dollar results, in cases of workplace injury, insurance bad faith, trucking wrecks, negligence, wrongful death, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse and professional negligence. Several of his jury trials have resulted in awards of punitive damages against the defendants.. Chris also maintains a significant appellate practice, handling cases in the Supreme Court of the United States of America, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania as well as the appellate courts of Ohio. Chris is also involved in the firm's toxic tort, class action and consumer fraud practice areas, including cases like Citifinancial v. Lightner and Robinson v. Columbian Chemicals. A path-breaking class action appeal, in Citifinancial v. Lightner, argued by Chris in 2008, paved the way for state court consumers to use their own state courts for class action counterclaims when they are sued by debt collectors.. Notable verdicts in Chris' cases cases include Timmons v. American Electric Power, (2011, approximately $7,000, plus attorney's fees), McLaughlin v. Ohio Power Company, (2011, $5,710,, plus attorney's fees), Karpacs v. Murthy (2008, $4,000,) and Boggs v. Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital (2006, $6,545,), all tried with Geoff Brown, as well as Meredith v. Heartland of Clarksburg (2002, $50,000,), tried with Jim Bordas. The Boggs award was later increased by approximately $1,400, through an award of litigation sanctions against Camden-Clark Hospital. In 2009, in Brooke County West Virginia, Chris, Geoff Brown and Jamie Bordas selected a jury in the case of Haught v. Weirton Medical Center, and following jury selection, Weirton Medical Center elected to confess judgment in open court for $2,060, rather than face trial. Crystal Rogerson and David Haught, the clients in that case, later received the Advocate for Justice Award for their determination to obtain a public settlement from the hospital.. Chris has also argued frequently before the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in cases such as State ex rel. Richmond American Homes v. Sanders, State ex rel. Allstate v. Madden, Boggs v. Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital and State ex rel. Erie Property and Casualty Co. v. Mazzone. Chris has also authored amicus curiae briefs for the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals on behalf of consumer protection organizations in Riggs v. WVU Hospital, Brown v. Genesis Health Care and MacDonald v. City Hospital. The Brown case, decided in 2011, allowed victims of nursing home abuse to retain their jury trial rights in the face of industry attempts to force victims into secret arbitration. The WVAJ was favorably cited in the opinion of the Court.. One of Chris' cases involving much more than any monetary award was resolved in 2004: Mary Jo Stefanakis v. Office of Personnel Management resulted in an order that the federal government reconsider its decision to deny a life-saving allogeneic bone marrow transplant to a Pittsburgh woman. Chris represented Mrs. Stefanakis and her husband at the preliminary injunction hearing that resulted in a Good Friday decision by the Judge that her insurance company should pay or appear in court again to show why it shouldn't. Mrs. Stefanakis, who had been given six months to live without the transplant, subsequently received a successful transplant and lived four more years with her husband, children and grandchildren.. Chris has also been selected to speak at the popular West Virginia Bar Association's "Litigation" seminar, held annually in Davis, West Virginia and asked to speak at the WVAJ's biannual seminars and other continuing legal education conferences. Chris currently serves on the Board of Directors of the West Virginia Association for Justice, and as a Regional Chair of that organization, as Co-Chair of the amicus curiae committee and the brief bank committee.
Many years ago I went to law school with the intention of going into politics, then a funny thing happened, I fell in love with the law. I love being a lawyer. I don't understand colleagues and other lawyers who complain about their careers, I love every second of it. It is not just my career, it is who I am, it is what I do and what I am passionate about. The books I read, the movies I watch, the television shows I watch are all predominantly about the law. I try to bring my passion and energy to every case I have. I understand when a client walks into my office that client has entrusted his or her life with me. I take that trust seriously and I do everything in my power to get the best result possible for each and every client. By not going into politics I gave up the opportunity to help society as a whole, I really believe that I am making a larger, more immediate contribution by helping one client at a time.
