Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Negligence It is an unfortunate fact of life that people suffer from personal injuries from accidents, falls, job sites and other factors. Fortunately, the law allows a party who suffers an injury due to another party's negligence to be compensated for resulting damages. Addabbo & Greenberg handles the broad spectrum of automobile, premises and general liability matters, as well as product liability issues and Medical Malpractice Cases. The success of the firm's personal injury practice is evidenced by results achieved on behalf of our clients. In most of these personal injury cases, legal fees are contingent upon a monetary award. No recovery, no fee. This area of practice is managed by Founding Partner and experienced trial lawyer Todd D. Greenberg. For years, Mr. Greenberg has applied his acquired expertise in trial practice to personal injury litigation. Whether the case goes to trial or is settled out of court, it is the belief at Addabbo & Greenberg that meticulous preparation and thorough research into issues surrounding personal injury cases is the best way to ensure and protect our client's rights. Undocumented Alien Worker receives $3 million settlement A $3 million settlement was reached prior to trial in February 2007 for the family of an undocumented alien working in the country for two months prior to his death caused by a defective scaffold. Our thorough preparation and research culminated in a favorable settlement against Home Depot, Inc. This action was commenced in 1991 after Plaintiff was assaulted in the parking lot of the Home Depot in Elmont, Nassau County, by another customer. The attorneys for Home Depot, Inc. wrote to Addabbo & Greenberg on May 15, 1992 as follows:
Please note that we regard the inclusion of The Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., as a party defendant in this action to be frivolous. Accordingly, please be advised that sanctions will be sought against your clients and your firm for the institution of the action as against The Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. and needless to say, any further steps by your office to pursue this frivolous claim as against the Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., will result in further evidence of your bad faith in pursuing the claim.
After thorough research of the issues by Todd Greenberg, and after years of litigation, Home Depot, Inc. settled during jury selection on August 17, 1998 for $615,000.00. (NEW YORK JURY VERDICT REPORTER). Instead of sanctions being paid by Addabbo & Greenberg for bringing a frivolous lawsuit, Home Depot, Inc. paid Plaintiff a substantial sum of money for his injuries, based on the theories of negligence we developed. Similar results are reported on our Reported Cases. Representing the family of a 45 year old New York City Police Officer who committed suicide while incarcerated in a Nassau County jail, our client was awarded a $875,000 Wrongful Death Settlement.
