For over 35 years, Rheingold, Valet, Rheingold, McCartney & Giuffra has dedicated itself to providing the best possible legal representation to our clients and the lawyers who refer their cases to us. This proud tradition continues, as evidenced by the successful verdicts and settlements that we have had in the fields of personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability and mass tort litigation over the past year.
We are honored that for the 7th consecutive year, our partner Thomas P. Giuffra has been recognized for having two of the highest verdicts in New York State. In 2014, Tom obtained a $6.1 million verdict in a medical malpractice case, which was the largest verdict for a malpractice case involving anesthesiology care. He also obtained a verdict for $1.7 million in a motor vehicle case, which was the largest verdict for a case involving a U-turn in 2014. In March 2015, Tom obtained a landmark verdict for $1.5 Million for a client who sustained neck and head injuries while riding Coney Island’s iconic Cyclone roller coaster. This was the 17th Million Dollar verdict of Tom’s career.
In personal injury, medical malpractice and mass tort litigation, our firm retains its long-standing position among the nation’s preeminent leaders. Our firm is currently working on large mass tort settlement payouts for hundreds of Biomet, DePuy, Stryker and Zimmer hip and knee implant cases, as well as AMS, Bard, Boston Scientific, Coloplast, and Johnson & Johnson pelvic and hernia mesh cases. We are always on the lookout for new litigation involving medical devices and prescription drugs, such as Actos, Benicar and Zofran.
We welcome the opportunity to work with lawyers who have personal injury, medical malpractice or products liability cases they wish to refer and are also available to work as trial counsel on cases that have already been prepared.
