New Settlement Alert at jury selection. We secured $6,150,000.00 and a waiver of a $300,000 workers’ compensation lien: Partners Daniel Leav, Edward Steinberg, and Daniela Henriques all collaborated over four and a half years to represent a now sixty-eight-year-old man who was struck by a caisson that sent him airborne, causing him to sustain bodily injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, a knee tear requiring surgery, and spinal injuries.
The case was “won at the intake,” with Mr. Steinberg and Ms. Henriques securing the necessary investigation to prove that this accident occurred because of negligence and the failure of the job site to be set up safely. The case was then developed by Daniel, Edward, and Daniela, who handled various aspects of discovery, ultimately securing summary judgment on liability.
Mr. Steinberg attended two failed mediations, and the matter was then set for trial, at which point Mr. Leav prepared the client and our experts over the last month.
At jury selection, Mr. Steinberg and Mr. Leav attended and, with the help of the court, secured 100% justice and the dignity our client deserves.
