A New York Bronx Jury Awards a 15 year old Pedestrian $550,000.00.
The New York Personal Injury law firm Raphaelson represented a 15 year old girl who was struck by a motor vehicle while crossing the street.  The driver of the vehicle claimed he had the green light and that our client darted out in front of his vehicle.  Our client sustained a herniated disc in her neck and treated with a chiropractor for four months.  New  York trial attorney Jason Krakower tried the case in Bronx Supreme Court and a jury returned a verdict in favor of our client for $550,000.

I found this settlement data on Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney the Reno Nevada Injury Lawyers who have been practicing law for over a quarter of a century.  This case was the largest settlement in 1970 and was an impressive one at that.  $3.65 million at that time would be worth MUCH more today!   At minimum this was in todays value a $15-$25 million dollar settlement.

General Electric v. Bush, 88 Nev. 360, 498 P.2d 366, (S.Ct. 1972)
After the trial in this case, the firm and BDJ Law’s co-counsel, James F. Boccardo, received national attention and was featured in the January 7, 1970, issue of Time Magazine. The case involved catastrophic injuries to a man crushed by a heavy piece of equipment in a mining accident.  A jury verdict of $3,650,000 was the highest award ever attained on behalf of an individual plaintiff in United States history at the time. This case established two major legal precedents in Nevada in product liability and damages.  It rejected the defense of assumption of risk and contributory negligence in strict products liability cases and was the first case to allow damages ($500,000) for loss of consortium on behalf of a spouse.
