Additional Notes
When this case was referred to us by another law firm, there was a $10,000 offer. We worked with the client and his case. The insurance company came to us asking us to mediate the case while our summary judgment motion on liability was pending before the Court. The defendant chose not to conduct independent medical examinations (IME's) of our client prior to the mediation. After a full day of mediating the case, the defendant indicated that they would settle the case for $1 Million dollars. We rejected their offer and left. A couple of weeks later, we were able to settle the case for $1.5 Million dollars. It also was written up and published in Verdict Search, the New York Jury Review and Analysis, and made the New York Law Journal’s (NYLJ) top 100 settlements, tying for number 49, for the entire calendar year and entire State of New York.
