$2.5 Million Dollar Award from Arbitration in Automobile Accident Case. Joel Feldman earned a $2.5 million dollar award from arbitration in an automobile accident. The plaintiff, a self-employed landscaper, suffered fractures to his thigh, knees, lower legs, toes, as well as internal injuries, including the loss of his spleen, as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Although he was employed as a landscaper, our client wanted to become a police officer, and had taken the initial steps toward doing that. As a result of his injuries, he would never be hysically capable of fulfilling his desire to work in law enforcement, and was unable to finish the testing. Joel proved our client's loss of future earnings - comparing his potential salary as a police officer with his wagers as a landscaper - using vocational experts.

$2 million dollar award in automobile accident. Joel Feldman and Paul Anapol represented a client who was severely injured when a tractor trailer suddenly turned left in front of his car, causing a severe accident. He was in a coma for several weeks and suffered brain injuries, including significant permanent memory loss and personality changes. In addition, he was unable to return to his prior employment. The client received a $2 million dollar award, even though the defendant disputed the extent of the brain injuries.

$1.4 million dollar verdict in automobile accident. Joel Feldman represented a 31 year old elevator repairman who suffered multiple injuries in a car accident, including a left arm brachial plexus injury. Because our client was a smoker who continued to smoke after the accident, he was unable to under go recommended surgery for his arm injury. The defendants argued that, because he would not stop smoking, our client was responsible for the severity and extent of his injuries. The jury awarded our client $1.4 million dollars.

Barnes v. SEPTA. $1.3 Million Dollar Verdict for Sanitation Worker Struck by SEPTA Bus. Alan Schwartz represented Barnes, a sanitation worker for the City of Philadelphia, who was standing on a trash truck that was sideswiped by a SEPTA bus.

The jury was not persuaded by this argument and awarded Barnes a $1.3 million verdict for disabling psychological injuries.

Joel Feldman represented a 4 year old boy who suffered severe injuries resulting in his immediate death when a tractor trailer driver lost control of his truck struck the side of a car in which the boy was seated. The focus of the case was a projected loss of future earnings and income based upon the parents' educational and work background. The defendants disputed these projections, but the case was settled for $1.15 million dollars.
