May 26, 2009 - Our client, Amanda Dinnigan, a ten-year-old passenger in a GMC Envoy, was so seriously injured that she is now permanently a quadraplegic due to a defective seat belt in this General Motors designed car. Her medical expenses are estimated at approximately a half million dollars a year. Unfortunately, with the bankruptcy of General Motors, little Amanda may not be able to receive any compensation whatsoever for her devastating injuries nor for these very high continuing medical costs.

Lead Poisoning Case - Plaintiff settled a case involving childhood lead poisoning at a mediation, for the sum of $1,300,000. This case involved a young girl who sustained lead poisoning from ingesting lead-based paint that was peeling and chipping from the walls of two apartments in Brooklyn, where her uncle and maternal grandparents lived. The settlement was paid by the two insurance carriers for the two building owners. The settlement will provide substantial payments to the child when she turns 18, and is greater than any reported sustained verdicts for lead poisoning cases in Brooklyn.
