Christin Brown focuses her practice on general liability in the areas of premises liability, labor law, personal injury, transportation and trucking liability, as well as sexual molestation and abuse claims. She has extensive experience defending clients in cases brought under the New York Child Victims Act (CVA) and handling matters involving the Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA).

Christin’s involvement in transportation and trucking litigation includes representation of both large and small transportation companies. Her experience hinges on the fact that what you see is not always what you get when it comes to accident claims. She is a member of Wilson Elser’s Transportation Practice, which boasts more than 250 attorneys. Christin is well-versed in strategies and approaches to identify potential fraud claims. She focuses on early investigation, including pre-suit liability investigations. Christin possesses a deep understanding of the trucking industry and the specific laws that govern it, effectively identifying key components that impact the potential for early settlement. She employs custom strategies to recreate or go back in time for cases filed well after the accident occurred, including utilizing social media. She has tried cases to verdict and has handled numerous arbitrations in various matters.

Christin served a summer internship with the Rockland County District Attorney's Office and interned for the Pace Women's Justice Center, where she appeared on criminal matters in local courts under a student-practice order. While in law school, she was a LexisNexis Associate, providing assistance to students of Pace Law School with legal research tips on the LexisNexis platform, requiring extensive knowledge of legal research through LexisNexis.

Comer and Brown Prove Alleged Injuries Not a Result of Client’s Negligence

Thomas Comer (Partner-New York, NY) and Christin Brown (Associate-White Plains, NY) obtained a defense verdict on behalf of a large international hospitality concessionaire, after a two-week trial in Ulster County Supreme Court. The plaintiff raised the demand from $2 million to $10 million just before trial commenced wile Tom and Christin maintained their top $250,000 offer throughout. The case involved a trip and fall in New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The plaintiff alleged she was struck by an ice box carried by our client’s employee and suffered physical and psychiatric injuries. She claimed she was unable to work and will likely need nursing care, and her now ex-husband claimed loss of services. Tom and Christin presented evidence that plaintiff’s symptoms were a result of a histrionic personality disorder, supported by an expert who testified that plaintiff’s orthopedic injuries were minimal, had mostly resolved and that some were preexisting and degenerative. The plaintiff’s treating neurologist confirmed that objective studies were normal. Further, over objections, the court permitted the introduction of the traumatic brain injury claim, which was diagnosed using DTI testing, which is not generally accepted by the scientific or medical community. Our defense neurologist, neuropsychologist and neuroradiologist testified that plaintiff did not sustain traumatic brain injury as a result of the alleged accident, while attributing plaintiff’s alleged neurological condition to preexisting histrionic personality disorder. A vocational rehabilitation specialist testified that the plaintiff is fully capable of working. Tom and Christin proved to the jury that our client and its employee were not negligent. The jury deliberated for eight minutes before returning a defense verdict.
