On February 18, 2025, following a two-week jury trial in New York City, Joseph Stimmel of Varcadipane & Pinnisi, P.C. secured a $2.25 million dollar verdict in favor of the Firm’s clients who sustained injuries as a result of a trip and fall accident. The Firm’s client suffered a traumatic brain injury and chronic, post-concussion syndrome because of the accident, which significantly reduced his cognitive abilities, affected his daily living, and prevented him from returning to work. His wife also asserted a claim for loss of services and companionship as a result of her husband’s injuries and limitations.
The property owner defendant and its insurer refused to make a settlement offer throughout the lawsuit, labeling the case a “no-pay”, and during the trial, the defense only made a nominal $50,000 offer. At the close of the two-week trial, Mr. Stimmel not only won a unanimous $2.25 million dollar jury verdict against the property owner, but the jury also refused to assign any comparative fault to the Firm’s client who the property owner attempted to blame throughout the trial. According to Mr. Stimmel, “I recognize how difficult it can be for someone to live with injuries or disabilities, but as an attorney, I am happy to be an advocate in the justice system to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. In this case, despite the property owner’s repeated attempts to avoid responsibility and blame the accident on my client, I never stopped believing in my client’s story and was willing to fight with everything I had to achieve justice.” Mr. Stimmel and a dedicated team of supporting legal professionals at Varcadipane & Pinnisi, P.C. worked around the clock for over a month to secure this superb result, and the Firm commends Mr. Stimmel and the entire team on the extraordinary dedication, passion, hard work and well-deserved success!
