FEATURED CASE

In this amazing trial, Paul Dansker obtained a stunning verdict through painstaking investigation and tireless preparation, despite the fact that the case was referred by another attorney 17 years after the accident took place!!

Ms. C. was a cabaret singer driving on the Grand Central Parkway from a gig on Long Island. It was raining heavily. Suddenly her car drove into an enormous ponding of water which in turn caused her car to slide across the roadway and off an embankment causing serious physical and psychological injuries to her and her two passengers.

At trial, Mr. Dansker was able to prove that the City had failed to adequately clean the storm sewers resulting in ponding which made driving in that area extremely dangerous coupled with actual knowledge that the roadway surface in the area was unreasonably slick and should have been replaced.

NEGLIgent roadway DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE

Dansker & Aspromonte have won 100’s of millions of dollars for their injured clients over 32 years.

Negligent roadway design is a complex and multifaceted area of the law. It is difficult to prove and fraught with peril at every turn due to the maze of notice of claim requirements with municipal and state governmental entities. Knowing who to sue and how to make out a winning case is something that the lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte have been successfully doing for over 32 years.

Critically important to success is getting the right people, specifically highway engineers, out to the site of the accident as soon as possible before conditions substantially change. By photographing and documenting the specific conditions that are alleged to have caused the accident, we preserve whatever proof is necessary to win a trial that may be several years in the future. Hesitation can be the difference between winning and losing.
