Our client was a construction worker renovating a home. He fell on temporary wooden stairs that had not been properly placed and installed. The structure was swiftly moved prior to the accident. He was walking down the stairs to get to the restrooms – he only took one step onto before they shifted and fell straight down. It took the jury about an hour to determine the verdict, which was unanimous on all categories of damages. It was the highest construction accident verdict in the State of New York this year.

A father was picking up his child from school. He was parked at a curb, in front of a school bus. As he was standing next to his car, the school bus pulled away and passed him, but did so without leaving adequate space, causing him to be injured between his car and the passing bus. He captured the entire accident on his GoPro, leaving the defense with little to counter argue. He sustained injuries in his shoulder, hip, and left ankle. He also had to get multiple surgeries, including a cervical fusion operation.

A woman was driving on her way to work when she was sharply rear-ended by a private bus. The bus driver did not brake on time, which caused the woman to injure her arm, neck, and back. She was taken to the hospital and was informed that she needed extensive back surgery. After various low-ball settlement offers from the insurance company, our attorneys did not let up until the case was settled very well in the millions.
