Our client was seriously injured in a motor vehicle collision at an intersection. He had the stop sign. Shortly before trial, all parties agreed to resolve this matter through binding arbitration. At the arbitration we put in evidence, produced expert witnesses, offered demonstrative evidence, and argued our client’s cause. The expenses advanced in bringing this case exceeded $37,000. In spite of the fact that our client had the stop sign, we obtained an award of $740,000.

-Rocky Point, New York

Our client was a 61-year-old woman with pre-existing degenerative disc disease of the spine. The defendant hit the rear of our client’s vehicle, further injuring her but causing only $400 damage to the car. At trial we were able to overcome the difficulties of a pre-existing back condition and the natural assumption that the impact could not cause serious injury. The jury returned a six-figure verdict for our client.

-Middle Island, New York

Our client was shopping in K-Mart when she tripped and fell due to a ladder that was left in the aisle. She sustained a serious injury to her knee. Prior to trial, K-Mart made a $30,000 offer of settlement. This was unacceptable. We obtained a liability verdict for our client holding K-Mart 75 percent responsible, and then settled the case for $300,000.

-Setauket, New York

Our client, a man with a wife and two children, injured his back as the result of an accident at a construction site. He was unable to work and lost everything, including the self-respect that comes from providing for one’s family. No settlement offers were made by the defendants, so we went to trial on the issue of liability and the jury found the defendants to be 100 percent liable. After the verdict, we obtained a seven-figure settlement. Our client and his family got their lives back…they bought a house, are paying their bills, and most importantly, have recovered their self-respect.

-Port Jefferson, New York

Our client purchased tiles from a nationally recognized manufacturer, which were installed in her kitchen. They were too slippery and she was injured when she slipped and fell, fracturing her tibia. The action was settled for $95,000.
