Personal Injury and Employment Law

Stamford, Connecticut Attorneys

Stewart Casper is an outstanding trial lawyer in complex personal injury matters. I am a commercial trial attorney with limited experience in personal injury matters. In 2008, I was approached by personal friends and the parents of a young man whom I had known since he was in grammar school and who had sustained a devastating traumatic brain injury ("TBI"). I determined to team with Mr. Casper in the pursuit of our client's personal injury claim. Given my personal relationship with the plaintiff and his parents, and the severity and complexity of the plaintiff's injuries, it was especially important to provide our client with the best possible representation. Plaintiff's claims were complicated by the fact that another young man was also severely injured in the same incident and there were multiple insurance carriers with arguably different exposure. Despite these challenges, our client's claims were settled pre-suit by payment of 100% of the insurance policy limits.

Mr. Casper is a tenacious and formidable advocate with unsurpassed knowledge of TBI. This fact is best evidenced by his recent election as Chairperson of the Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice. Not only is his knowledge of TBI extensive and cutting edge, but he is able to explain the complexity and implications of TBI in straightforward, understandable terms. This was a skill I appreciated no less than our clients. In addition to the knowledge and skill he has developed over the course of his distinguished career, Mr. Casper has also developed a stable of world-class experts upon which he can draw.

From the moment Mr. Casper was first identified as co-counsel to the insurance carriers, to the final approval of our settlement by the Court, he added significant value. Mr. Casper can fairly be described as a trial lawyers' trial lawyer. I recommend him without reservation.

My mother suffered a traumatic brain injury when she fell down an unlit flight of stairs at my sister’s residence. Because the case involved a family member, the lawsuit was a bit complicated and sensitive. Although the jury found my mother 40% negligent, we were still able to secure a $4.2 million judgment and walk away with $2.5 million. From day one, Stewart Casper was tenacious about the lawsuit and never doubted for a minute that we would win. He kept me up to date and very informed over the course of collecting information about the case despite the fact that I live thousands of miles away in Texas. His numerous exhibits were first class all the way – large, colorful, accurate and VERY effective. I consider him to be a top-notch litigator in the court room. I was so impressed by his ability to discredit almost all of the defense’s witnesses. In my book, he was a genius!! There’s no doubt in my mind that we won the case based on his amazing ability to think on his feet and litigate from the heart. He truly believed in our case and I will be forever indebted to him.
