Workplace vehicle accidents can have devastating consequences for workers and their families. These incidents can result in severe injuries that impact a person's ability to work and support their loved ones. When a sanitation worker is struck while performing their duties, the financial and physical toll can be overwhelming.
Client's Case
A dedicated sanitation worker's life changed dramatically after being struck by a negligent driver on a narrow Westchester County roadway. The defense initially argued our client was merely a pedestrian rather than a passenger, attempting to avoid automatic liability under New York law. Through strategic legal arguments and thorough depositions, we successfully established that our client was indeed a passenger when the sanitation truck was rear-ended. The court granted summary judgment in our favor, recognizing the clear liability. After refusing multiple inadequate settlement offers and proceeding to mediation with a respected former judge, we secured over $2 million for our client. This life-changing settlement ensures our client's financial security and covers ongoing medical needs.
