Wrongful Death

Sex Crimes
In addition to defending employers in discrimination cases, our attorneys also represent employers in particular industries, including but not limited to education in matters involving abuse, sexual assault, and misconduct.
Fraud
Successfully obtained an early dismissal of a Consumer Fraud claim on the pleadings for failure to state a claim. In that case, the plaintiff homeowners lost power when a tree fell during a storm and took down the power lines. As part of the work necessary to restore power, certain trees on the homeowners’ property were trimmed by the defendant company. The plaintiff homeowners took issue with the manner in which they had been trimmed and filed a lawsuit, alleging among other things, that the defendant company was liable for consumer fraud. The court granted the defendant’s motion, finding that there was no consumer transaction and therefore dismissed the consumer fraud claim.

Workers Compensation
Successfully defended against a Claim and Penalty Petition for a significant low back injury wherein the claimant underwent surgery during the litigation and before the IME. The Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Judge denied the Claim and Penalty Petitions outright finding the claimant not credible. The judge relied heavily on the inconsistencies noted during cross-examination of the claimant and believed the employer’s theory that this was an incident, not a disabling injury, which was supported by fact witness testimony. The judge also found the claimant’s expert not credible, noting the expert’s opinion was based upon an inaccurate understanding of the medical history. As a result, our client was not responsible for any wage loss benefits, medical bills including surgery, or litigation costs, resulting in savings of well over $150,000 in back-due benefits.

Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
Secured a dismissal after a trial on a case that dated back to a 2003 injury in a New Jersey workers' compensation case. The injured worker was involved in a motor vehicle accident and ultimately underwent a cervical fusion. She initially received an award of permanency of 25% of partial total for the injury to her neck. Upon reopening the case our psychiatric expert found depression and anxiety in addition to the physical injuries. The award was increased to 31% of partial total. The petitioner applied for and received Social Security Disability finding her totally permanently disabled. The petitioner then filed a second application to review her award contending that she was totally and permanently disabled. Following a trial with testimony of the petitioner, her orthopedic and psychiatric experts as well as surveillance evidence and our orthopedic and psychiatric experts, the judge dismissed the case and found no change in her disability. The case closed with prejudice saving the client approximately $500,000 in future exposure.
