Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP attorney Konstantin Burshteyn secured a $1,515,000 settlement for a client who was involved in a motor vehicle accident in New York City. Our client was a backseat passenger in a car traveling straight when it was sideswiped on the passenger’s side. Our client injured his neck as result of the crash and ultimately underwent a single level cervical fusion. Defendants argued that the damages were minimal because the impact was light, that our client’s injuries could not have been caused by the accident, and that because he made an excellent recovery, his future medical treatment was limited. Konstantin resolved the case at a private mediation on the eve of trial. The case was referred to WRSMH by a smaller NYC personal injury firm.
