 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.
 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.
 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.
