$475,000.00 settlement during trial

A woman seriously injured in a January 1991 motor vehicle accident in New York City turned to Brunnock & Fleming for help in 1998.

Her case had been dormant in the New York court system for over six years, when Brian P. Fleming and Michele Mordkoff took over the case from her former attorney.

The woman sustained injuries resulting in multiple back surgeries, but the insurance company for the negligent driver denied responsibility, claiming that a subsequent accident was the cause of her injuries. Based on this contention, the insurance company refused to make an offer of settlement.

Brian and Michele tried the case before a Brooklyn, New York jury. The case settled after four days of trial for $475,000.00.
