Motor Vehicle Accident - $5,000,000

A commercial van was making a left turn when it stuck our client, a pedestrian who was crossing the street within the crosswalk. Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury in the accident. Afterwards, she was confined to a New York City hospital for three weeks and spent more than a year in rehabilitation. Our car accident lawyers settled the case on the eve of trial for $5,000,000. That settlement enabled the plaintiff to pay off her medical bills and purchase a handicapped equipped home where she now lives comfortably and independently with her husband.

Labor Law Violation - $4,400,000

A construction worker was working in the basement of a building when a 12-foot long wood beam became dislodged from between two brick columns and struck him in the head. The impact was so forceful that our client suffered a fractured skull, multiple facial lacerations, and a herniated disk. Even after undergoing surgery for his injuries, he was left with permanent scars on his neck and face. Scott Epstein obtained a $4,400,000 verdict on the injured worker's behalf.

Motor Vehicle Accident - $1,360,000

The estate of a driver killed by a car which had crossed over the double yellow line sued Orange County because of the poor driving conditions of the road. Our car accident lawyers were able to prove that Orange County was responsible for his death because even though both drivers were traveling at safe speeds, the driver “floated” across the roadway because the pavement had become polished. Since the County had previously ignored problems with the road, Scott Epstein was able to reach a settlement for the estate of the deceased man for $1,360,000.

Personal Injury - $1,000,000

Motor Vehicle Accident - $600,000

An American student who was in Quebec, Canada, was involved in a one car accident as a passenger. She suffered a cervical vertebrae fracture in the accident. Had Canadian law been applied to the case, the student would not have been able to recover anything, even though she was a passenger and was not at fault in any way. The personal injury lawyers at Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein successfully fought to have New York law apply to her case, which ultimately was settled for $600,000.
