$894,000 : Case Too Big For Family Lawyer, Trucking Company Pays

The call every parent dreads…”Your daughter was in a serious car crash with a truck”.   After visiting the hospital and unsure of what to do next, the parents of the injured 15-year-old passenger called the lawyer that handled their house closing.   Their daughter suffered a mild traumatic brain injury and broke her wrist. After two years, the parents realized the house closing lawyer was out of his league.  The trucking company had high powered lawyers and their lawyer was outmatched.   That’s when the parents contacted Finkelstein & Partners.  Their daughter was now a high school senior.  She had always been at the top of her class but had lingering effects from her brain injury.  The Neurolaw Trial Group went to work.  The case was handled by Managing Partner Andrew Finkelstein and Trial Partner Kenneth Fromson.   Even though the injured woman was able to successfully finish high school and graduate NYU, she still had residual effects from her mTBI.   The case settled at mediation for $894,000.
