Carmen’s Client Testimonial

While crossing the street, in the crosswalk a bus made a left turn striking her, knocking her to the ground and stopping on her foot. She pulled her foot out from under the bus tire. She suffered multiple fractures, nerve injuries and a degloving injury. The bus company had an investigator on scene soon after the accident. The investigator noted that a bus company employee was on the bus at the time of the accident counting passengers. The investigator failed to question the bus company passenger counter after the accident. There was nothing preventing the bus operator from seeing our client in the crosswalk. Our client will have to live with pain for the rest of her life. The surgeon said that the nerve that runs through her foot should look round like a piece of spaghetti but in her case it looked flat like a piece of linguini. The defendant refused to make a reasonable offer and the case was decided by a jury. The jury verdict was substantial.

Angie’s Client Testimonial

In the middle of the night Angie heard a loud knock on the door and someone urging her to get out because the building was on fire. She grabbed her daughter who was an infant and her son who was 3 years old. She woke her son who was 6 years old and told him to follow her down the stairs. When she got outside and put the younger ones down she turned around only to find that her 6 year old had not followed her. She broke free from neighbors who were trying to hold her back and ran up 3 flights of stairs to find her son frozen in fear in the entrance to her apartment. There was a fire escape window but the landlord had screwed the child guard into the window frame with tamper proof screws. She had asked the landlord, before the fire, to remove the screws from the window guard but he refused. In a valiant effort to preserve her life and her son’s life, she went into the bathroom and turned on the shower to buy a few minutes knowing the fire department was on the way. After turning on the shower the ceiling collapsed landing on her and causing significant burns to her back. The fire department found her, unconscious, draped over the tub with the ceiling on top of her.

Jigar’s Client Testimonial

While working on a scissor lift, which is an elevated work platform, a section of ductwork that was suspended by a strap from the ceiling struck the elevated work platform causing the scissor lift and our client to fall 30 feet to the cement floor. He suffered life threatening injuries. Fortunately he was in excellent physical condition due in part to the many years he served as a Marine. While on the ground he could not move or feel his legs. He endured multiple surgical procedures and many years of rehabilitation. All of the defendants attempted to have his case dismissed. We were successful in defeating their efforts and in fact we secured a ruling finding that the defendants were liable. The case settled during trial. We made sure that our client’s financial and medical needs were taken care of for life.

Dashanda’s Client Testimonial

Our client was 11 years old when she and her family moved into an apartment in Brooklyn New York. The oven was left in a dirty/filthy condition by the prior tenants. Her mom asked the super to please have the oven cleaned. The super refused the request. Our client, in an effort to help her mom decided to help by cleaning the oven. While cleaning the oven she leaned on the door and the entire oven tipped because the oven was installed improperly. Through our investigation we learned that the oven was shipped with an anti-tip device that the installer failed to install. Unfortunately, a pot of boiling water was on the stove top when the oven tipped. Our client was severely burned. We were successful in bringing the case to a conclusion ensuring that she was well taken care of.
