Our lawyers:

Stewart Casper

One example:

• Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury in Car Collision: Stewart Casper, in another traumatic brain injury matter, was able to negotiate a $6.695 million settlement for a 45-year-old woman, her husband, and her two teenage boys for a moderate brain injury she sustained when her car was T-boned in Middlebury, Connecticut by a repair van. The van was owned by an appliance repair company whose driver failed to stop for a red light. The woman sustained bilateral subdural hyrgomas, a brain contusion with hemorrhaging, and loss of consciousness. Her injuries necessitated surgery to relieve the pressure building on her brain. As a result of her traumatic brain injuries, she experienced numerous cognitive deficits: retrograde and anterograde amnesia, deficits in attention, memory, executive function, verbal and written expression and comprehension. She required extensive hospitalization and rehabilitation. Because the driver negligently ran a stoplight, our traumatic brain attorneys were able to settle for more, as punitive damages would likely have been assessed in court.

Victoria de Toledo

One example:

• Whistleblower and Retaliation, Municipal Liability- Verdict of $860,000. Victoria de Toledo obtained a verdict of $860,000 for her client who had protested age discrimination in the Town of Weston police department. The Chief of Police retaliated against Officer McInnis after he protested age discrimination. The Chief subjected the officer to unwarranted internal affairs investigation and excessive discipline. The jury verdict was subsequently reduced by the judge but in post trial proceedings, the judge awarded attorney fees and costs in addition to the verdict.
