New York City Law Firm Successful at Obtaining Defense Verdicts
1.
2. Scott Haworth, managing partner at Haworth
Coleman & Gerstman, LLC, in New York City, is
a graduate of the New York University School
of Law. Scott Haworth’s extensive legal career
includes serving as a defense attorney in
product liability, construction and intentional
torts, and catastrophic injury cases.
Examples of Haworth Coleman & Gerstman,
LLC's recent victories include Plaintiff v.
National Telecom Company, heard in U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New
York.
3. After the plaintiff was severely injured at
New York's Penn Station, the railroad
accused a telecom company of
contributing to the accident due to its
wireless facilities in Penn Station. While
the plaintiff received a multimillion-dollar
verdict against the railroad, the firm
successfully represented the telecom
company, obtaining a defense verdict.
4. Another case, Plaintiff v. Crane Company,
heard in Hudson County’s Superior Court,
involved a plaintiff who was injured in a
crane accident. The plaintiff’s attorney
claimed design defect, but the firm argued
against the reliability of the plaintiff’s liability
expert, resulting in the preclusion of 80
percent of the expert’s testimony. This case
was settled for significantly less than the
workers’ compensation lien.
