Recent Outcomes
- $620,000 recovery against a prominent trucking and delivery company for a tractor-trailer vs. pick-up truck crash on I-91 in which 3 plaintiffs – a grandfather, grandmother, and grandson – suffered severe emotional distress and soft tissue injuries, with the grandfather potentially needing shoulder and back surgery in future. (September 2023)
- 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. Our client was injured on the loading dock when he fell over a roll of hallway corridor carpeting. He underwent a cervical fusion procedure and sustained lost wages. 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)
- $750,000 settlement in a motor vehicle collision. Client required a cervical fusion surgery. Liability was initially contested but ultimately fully conceded. (July 2023)
