Bermajo v. Empire Builders: Represented the defendant in a Labor Law case brought on behalf of a plaintiff construction worker who was crushed to death by a falling beam. We identified coverage issues that made it difficult for plaintiff to recover damages and were able to resolve the claim for a small fraction of the amount sought.
Budgell v. NY Presbyterian Hospital: Represented the defendant in a Section 240 Labor Law claim in which the trial court initially granted summary judgment on liability to the plaintiff. We perfected our appeal on behalf of the defendant and were able to reach a reasonable settlement with one of the top plaintiff’s firms.
Dombrowski v. Metropolitan Property and Casualty: Represented an insurance company defendant in a lawsuit brought by a women-owned business alleging that our client’s severing of its relationship with plaintiff’s agency was sexually discriminatory because the defendant held the plaintiff to a different standard than other agencies. The trial court denied our motion for summary judgment. On appeal, the New York Appellate Division, Second Department, agreed with all of our arguments on behalf of the defendant and dismissed the claim.
