Pedestrian Accident
This case involved a “Zone of Danger” claim for a mother who saw her son cross within the crosswalk and get hit by a truck. Tragically, the boy died within seconds without any signs of life and therefore, under NY State law, minimal damages were available for his pain and suffering. However, the mother had a claim for being within the Zone of Danger which we were able to receive a settlement for.

Slip and Fall
Our client, a 45-year old woman, was shopping at JC Penney at the Roosevelt Field Mall and fell on a 1 inch raised tile floor in the woman’s department. She required a total knee replacement. We were able to achieve this significant settlement by hiring an engineer and showing how this accident could have been avoided by use of a rubber molding to make a ramp type of joint.
The settlement was achieved by senior partner E. David Woycik Jr, attorney Matt Kittrell, and senior paralegal Katie Ramos.

The trial team of senior partner E. David Woycik Jr, attorney Matt Kittrell, and senior paralegal Katie Ramos was able to show that the police car’s front passenger indicated the driver got sick, causing this accident. The City of New York offered a $1.9 million settlement before depositions.

We employed experts who found no code violations for the steps in question since the building was a prewar building.

Pedestrian Accidents
This case involved a 62-year-old female home attendant who was crossing the street on her way to work on November 3, 2011. As she was crossing Amsterdam Avenue pedestrian walk signal, the defendant made a left turn from the cross street onto Amsterdam and stuck her. Plaintiff had lumbar vertebrectomy surgery for her injuries. She never returned to work and currently uses a cane.
After depositions were held and demands made upon the insurance carrier to tender their $1,250,000 in coverage, the case was transferred to trial firm veterans, Mark Bernstein and Jennifer Gerdes to prepare for trial. The key to the settlement was that we had done all the work and we were ready to pick a jury. The insurance company faced the possibility of an excess verdict. The client received a great deal of money without having to be exposed to what a jury might have decided. More negotiations were held until parties agreed to settle the pedestrian accident lawsuit for $900K. Importantly, our attorneys were able to reduce a $200,000 lien owed by our client down to zero. Mr. Bernstein and Mrs. Gerdes were especially satisfied with this settlement because their efforts allowed our client to keep an additional $200,000 which otherwise would have been paid back to a private health insurance company.
