Victories For Our Clients

Client was working on a job site as a roofer and fell through the roof injuring his neck, back, and shoulder. The defense argued that our client was at fault for stepping on an unsecured area of the roof. We successfully countered, through the use of experts in workplace safety and OSHA rules, that the owner and general contractor failed to provide the appropriate safety devices which, if available on the job site, would have prevented his injuries. The defense also contested that the claimed injuries were related to the fall. We successfully countered this argument through the use of expert medical reviews and reports. The matter was settled before a mediator who specializes in workplace falls.

This settlement was attained on the brink of trial after the case was thoroughly prepared. Our client was injured in a violent motor vehicle accident in which a vehicle was forced into our client’s path by another vehicle which was illegally passing. The offending vehicle fled the scene, but was located by an investigator many hours later. Client suffered a neck injury, foot fractures, facial fractures, fractured clavicle, as well as a shoulder injury. We retained 5 expert witnesses, including 4 doctors and a professional medical visualist who developed graphic color slides to show a jury just how our client suffered his injuries.

Our client suffered neck and back injuries when a bus in which she was a passenger was negligently struck at an intersection by another vehicle.

Dog bite - client was visiting the home of a work acquaintance for the first time and was attacked by her dog, suffering bite wounds to both arms. In New York, we must prove that the dog’s owner knew the dog had a propensity to bite, which the owner denied. We broke this case through skilled investigation when we were able to locate a painting contractor who had been previously bitten by the same dog so we were able to prove that the owner knew her dog was vicious. The homeowners insurance thereafter disputed the value of the client’s injuries but the matter settled on the brink of trial once it was thoroughly prepared and the insurance company had no choice but to settle.

Client was rear-ended on a bridge suffering a neck injury. All throughout the litigation the insurance company refused to pay, claiming that the impact was too minor to have caused the claimed injuries.
