Settlement Alert: $3,500,000. Our client was forcefully hit from behind by a commercial vehicle. As a result of the impact, he sustained injuries to his spine and was forced to undergo cervical (neck) surgery.

Throughout the case, the insurance company took the position that our client’s injuries were not worth 1 million dollars. As a result, we pushed forward toward trial in Queens County. It was only after named partner, Raymond Panek, delivered an outstanding 1 hour and 40-minute opening statement as well as a direct examination of our client’s doctor did the insurance company pay.
