Significant Representative Matters
Represented a carpet manufacturer in matter where plaintiffs claimed carpet contained carcinogens which forced plaintiffs to abandon their new constructed home. Obtained summary judgment in favor of carpet manufacturer despite client's unfavorable testing reports.
Successfully resolved low-speed, low-impact motor vehicle rear-end accident where a 24-year-old plaintiff's demand was $3.5 million. The photograph and testimonial evidence demonstrated that there was virtually no damage caused to either vehicle. An accident reenactment performed, with the use of biomechanical experts and identical vehicles, effectively demonstrated that the forces involved in this accident could not have caused the injuries plaintiff claimed to have suffered. The action settled for a fraction of the plaintiff's demand.
Defense verdict in automobile liability case after jury trial where, although Defendant stipulated to negligence prior to the trial, the jury found that plaintiff did not suffer compensable injury. At trial multiple inconsistencies in plaintiff's testimony regarding her injuries and work history where elicited which brought into question plaintiff's credibility.
Defense verdict in premises liability case after jury trial in favor of a snow removal contractor. Plaintiff suffered a fractured hip and was totally disabled as a result of an alleged slip and fall on ice and snow in the parking lot of her employer several days after a snowstorm.
