People can be injured in the course of using machines and products. For example Kerstein, Coren & Lichtenstein LLP was successful in representing an employee who suffered loss of parts of fingers by putting his hand in the machine mechanism to clear a paper jam. He had dine this before safely. The machine had a sign saying in large letters "DO NOT PUT HAND IN MACHINE". Despite the clear warning, our attorneys recovered $210,000.00 dollars for the client.
Our attorney represented a young woman who tripped over the keg of an easel in a restaurant, permanently injuring her ankle and foot. She had been employed operating heavy earthmoving equipment but became unemployable due to her accident. . The case was difficult because the easel was not hidden. A jury in Norfolk Superior Court awarded $834,000, with interest totaling One Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000.00). This is though to be the highest slip and fall verdict in the history of Norfolk Superior Court.
Kerstein, Coren & Lichtenstein LLP represented a young lady who was injured in an automobile accident. The person who caused the accident (defendant) was on his way to a party. During investigation, it was found that the reason for the party was for business purposes of the defendant's employer, which made the large insurance policy of the company available. Although the client claimed loss of strength and numbness in her shoulder, tests showed nothing wrong. Our attorneys helped cause a more complete nerve test to be done which revealed a dead nerve. The case settled for $300,000.00.
Our attorney was referred a slip and fall case on snow and ice case due to dissatisfaction with a prior attorney's representation. The prior attorney assumed the accident happened in a grocery store parking lot for which there was no liability. The case was close to being dismissed with no damages. Investigation by our attorneys discovered that the client had slipped on a ramp going up intro the market and then slid down into the parking lot. The client had worsened an existing knee injury and the case settled for $70,000.00. Our attorneys successfully argued the law of this case to a judge and this case is now looked to for interpretation of snow and ice law in Massachusetts.
