Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorneys Galfand Berger Announce more than $16 Million Recovered for Clients in 2010
PA law firm helps clients receive maximum compensation for serious auto accident, medical malpractice, products liability, and workers comp injuries caused by another's negligence
PHILADELPHIA, May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Personal injury law firm Galfand Berger has a long history of raising the bar for obtaining verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients. Established over 60 years ago, Galfand Berger remains committed to helping victims of auto accidents, workers compensation claims, wrongful death, and medical malpractice injuries in Philadelphia and surrounding counties.
In 2010 alone, Galfand Berger recovered more than $16 million in compensation for clients injured by the bad behavior of others.
"We are fierce advocates for those hurt by the careless and reckless behavior of corporations, insurance companies, employers, and individuals," says Galfand Berger managing partner, Debra Jensen. "Our achievements have provided justice for people facing devastating physical, emotional and financial injuries."
Examples of the firm's 2010 victories on behalf of clients include a $3 million settlement for the estate of a scrap yard worker fatally injured on the job because the railcar he was riding lacked federally mandated safety features including grab bars, handholds and foot stirrups. This wrongful death settlement is among the top 35 Pennsylvania recoveries in 2010.
Galfand Berger also attained several confidential multi-million dollar settlements arising from workplace or medical provider injuries (the final facts of these cases were not released to the public), including:
- A worker who suffered a brain injury after being struck in the head by a defective machine (products liability)
- A worker injured when he was crushed by a falling furnace door (products liability)
- A patient who died after transfer from the operating room (medical malpractice)
Other wins for Galfand Berger's clients include $850,000 for a worker who suffered a foot-crush injury; a six-figure settlement for a man who suffered a hand crush injury; $285,000 for a worker who injured his knee, and numerous similar cases.
Many of the firm's victories for clients resulted from hard-won battles pitting the Philadelphia personal injury attorneys against insurance companies, corporations, and employers trying to deny recovery from individuals injured as the result of products with design defects, negligent medical care, careless driving, and unsafe work conditions.
