In 1989, our client was involved in a head-on collision with a tractor
trailer. He sustained multiple fractures and other serious injuries that
required surgery. Harrison J. Gordon worked on voluminous discovery, conducted
numerous depositions, and obtained expert reports. On the eve of trial, the case
was settled for a $548,700 structured settlement. Due to the periodic payments,
he will receive more than $900,000 over his lifetime.
At a recent Social Security disability hearing, Edward Szep successfully
persuaded an administrative law judge that this same client was permanently
disabled. In addition to the $900,000 recovered for his accident, our client
will receive monthly benefits from the Social Security Administration disability
office for the rest of his life, bringing the total amount recovered to more
than $1,000,000 over his lifetime.
