Verdicts & Settlements
Police Shooting – Boy Paralyzed – $92 Million Verdict
Against the City and in favor of our client, a 17-year old boy who was shot by a police officer, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. This was a re-trial of a case which had resulted in a jury verdict of $41 Million. The policeman alleged that our client pointed his gun at the officer and was about to shoot him. But the young man claimed that he had already dropped his gun and was on his knees. The jury unanimously held that the policeman’s shooting of the plaintiff was not legally justified.
9/11 Victim Compensation Fund – $925 Million in Awards
Recovered in VCF awards for our clients, from both the first VCF (2002-2004) and since the VCF reopened in 2011.
$183 Million Verdict – Black Sunday Fire
The families of the deceased firefighters and the surviving firefighters brought lawsuits against the owner of a building for allowing the construction of illegal partition walls in the apartment, which blocked access to the fire escape.
9/11 World Trade Center Federal Lawsuit – $105 Million in Settlements
More than 10,000 workers who sued New York City over health damages they claimed after the 9/11 recovery efforts have approved a settlement, clearing the way for payouts totaling $700 million – of which our clients received about $105 million
Twin Brain Damaged at Birth – $61.6 Million Verdict
In favor of our client, an injured twin (Twin “B”), who was delivered 42 minutes after his brother, (Twin “A”) without being continually monitored for fetal distress. Twin “B” suffered asphyxia shortly prior to birth. We proved to the Jury that proper monitoring would have revealed signs of oxygen deprivation, which would have warranted an earlier delivery via cesarean section. Twin “B”, now age 6 is intelligent, but requires the assistance of a walker or wheelchair and has difficulty with his speech. His brother, Twin “A”, is fine.
Crane Collapse – $21.4 Million Recovered
Two construction workers, ages 38 and 40, were killed, and a third worker, age 43, was seriously injured when a crane they were on collapsed.
Childbirth Injuries – $26 Million Verdict
The jury deliberated for eight hours and returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarding more than $26 million for the child’s past and future pain and suffering. The jury also awarded $500,000 for the wrongful death of her twin sister, who died 28 days after birth.
Unsafe Premises – Gas Leak – $25 Million Recovered
A 43-year-old man and his two-year-old daughter suffered 70% and 50% total body surface burns, respectively, when a gas explosion occurred in their apartment. The father died from his burns and was survived by his wife and three children.
Subway Accident Multiple Injuries $12.9 Million Recovered
An 18-year-old student while leaving the subway dropped her Bible and when she leaned over to pick it up she was caught by the subway door which dragged her and badly damaged her left leg. She fractured her pelvis and leg in multiple places and severed a main artery. Much of the skin of her leg was torn off. She required multiple surgeries to insert hardware in her leg and hip, and to graft the skin that she had lost.
