ExperienceResults may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.
Won summary judgment in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissing plaintiff’s complaint in a motor vehicle accident as the Court found that defendant made a prima facie showing that plaintiff’s injuries were pre-existing and not caused by the accident. Therefore, the case was dismissed as plaintiff’s injuries did not meet the “serious injury” threshold pursuant to Insurance Law section 5104.
Won summary judgment in favor of a Brooklyn company sued for a fatal construction site accident. The court agreed with our arguments that our client did not violate the New York Labor Law and because there was no evidence of negligence, the case was dismissed.
