TRIP AND FALL ACCIDENT/SIGNIFICANT NECK INJURIES AND LOST INCOME
Lever & Ecker's client tripped and fell in a pothole in a parking garage in New York, causing the firm's client to suffer significant cervical injuries which required multiple surgeries, resulting in a significant loss of income. While the defendants attempted to blame our client for her fall, at trial the jury agreed with our argument that the defendants were fully responsible and rendered a 100% liability verdict against them. Thereafter, as the damages phase of the trial was about to commence, Lever & Ecker negotiated an $8.8 million settlement on behalf of our client, reflecting the significant pain, suffering, and lost income she suffered as the result of a single step that changed her life forever.
