Millions Of Dollars For Auto Accident Victims

KDLM has represented victims of all types of auto accidents, including rear-end, head-on and side-impact collisions, as well as 18-wheeler accidents and vehicle rollovers.

- In 2010, Tom Moore represented a 53-year-old construction worker who was left paralyzed after being struck by a Verizon truck. The vehicle was going 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. Verizon claimed the man had “only been hit by the vehicle’s side-view mirror.” Tom Moore unearthed and showed jurors photos of the truck’s shattered windshield and headlights. The jury returned a verdict of $41.8 million, the largest in New York history.
- A few years ago, the driver of a car was killed when he slowed down to safely pass a roadway construction site in Westchester County. An inattentive tow truck operator carelessly plowed into the man’s car, killing him. KDLM negotiated a settlement of $5.8 million to compensate the driver’s family for its loss.
- A 69-year-old man was walking on the sidewalk in Lawrence on Long Island when he was struck by an SUV backing up into a parking spot. He died later that day from the injuries suffered in the accident. Judy Livingston represented the family, which received $1.6 million as a result of the driver’s negligence.
- A young woman who was a passenger in a car was ejected from the vehicle when it rolled over. The woman suffered significant injuries, including partial paralysis. KDLM represented the woman and negotiated a $4.9 million settlement for her injuries.
