New York Personal Injury Lawyer Kenneth A. Wilhelm Obtains Two Top Settlement Amounts Statewide
New York, N.Y (PRWEB) January 08, 2014 -- The New York Law Journal has listed the top settlement amounts obtained by personal injury lawyers under various categories statewide. New York personal injury lawyer Kenneth A. Wilhelm placed at the top of this list in two categories – bicycle accidents and motor vehicle passenger accidents, out of over 166,000 lawyers.
The law firm's bicycle accident case (31734/2009, Queens County Supreme Court) was settled in January 2013 for $5,600,000. According to court documents, the bicyclist was struck by another vehicle. Court records also show that the defendants had deemed the bicyclist at fault for being under the influence of alcohol, not wearing a helmet, and suddenly moving in front of the van that hit him.
The other case (27054/2010, Kings County Supreme Court) involved a husband who was injured in a car accident while traveling in a vehicle driven by his wife. Under N.Y. State Insurance Law, the husband cannot sue the wife. According to court documents, the car collided with a truck and the injured client's wife was determined by the judge to have been 100 percent at fault. This case, documents show, ended in a $2,550,000 settlement, even though the husband did not and could not have sued his wife under N.Y. Insurance Law.
"We're extremely pleased to have been placed on top of the New York Law Journal's list of highest 2013 settlements in these two vital categories," said Kenneth A. Wilhelm. "These results motivate us to continue to fight hard for our injured clients in the coming years."
Wilhelm said the two cases proved extremely challenging, making the results obtained particularly gratifying. "At the outset, the odds seemed stacked against us in both of these cases and our success was really due to our team's skill and perseverance. I'm truly proud of our skilled lawyers and dedicated staff."
