New York Car Accident
Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP, attorney Narciso Garcia obtained a $1,175,000 settlement at mediation for a client injured in a motor vehicle accident. The case involved a collision in Nassau County, where liability was contested. The defense argued the intersection light was yellow, but the driver later admitted uncertainty about the light turning red.
Our client, 24 years old at the time of the accident, sustained serious injuries requiring a single-level cervical fusion. Medical experts confirmed a herniated disc with no prior related conditions. The settlement was reached after extensive negotiation, involving both primary and umbrella insurance policies. The case was settled while awaiting trial.
