Firm Partner Joe Landy recently secured a $700,000 settlement for Leonard Williams, a hardworking man who was injured in a severe commercial vehicle crash on I-95.
While Leonard was carefully slowing for traffic, he was rear-ended, resulting in significant injuries that necessitated surgery. To make matters worse, the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier attempted to deny liability, claiming Leonard had slammed on his brakes or that a third vehicle was responsible for the impact.
At Lesser, Landy, Smith and Siegel, we do not rely on billboards to find our clients; we rely on the trust of our community. Leonard was referred to Joe by a co-worker, confident that our firm would offer the guidance he desperately needed.
Because we don’t use case managers, Leonard was able to speak directly with Joe Landy throughout the entire process. This direct attorney-client partnership allowed Joe to act quickly. He hired an accident reconstruction expert to download the vehicle’s “black box” data, proving definitively that the driver who struck Leonard was the sole cause of the crash.
By going the extra mile to secure irrefutable technical evidence, Joe turned a disputed liability argument into a clear victory.
The case settled shortly thereafter, ensuring Leonard can continue to provide for his family while he recovers.
