• A $250,000 settlement in a motor vehicle crash. Our client, a physical laborer, did not seek treatment for four months and the defense argued his back injuries resulted from his job and weight gain. We disproved that claim with experts, securing the favorable settlement on the eve of trial.
• $600,000 resolution in a case involving the construction site of a luxury high-rise residential apartment building.

It took significant discovery and depositions of key witnesses to establish liability on the part of the owner and carpet contractor, as there was no report or surveillance to document the incident. (July 2023)
