Experience

Secured a jury verdict in favor of an insurance company sued in connection with an incident that resulted in the plaintiff’s boat sinking. The plaintiff alleged that our client acted in bad faith and failed to pay the policy limits following the incident, which the plaintiff claimed was caused by a latent defect entitling him to recover the full value of the boat under the operative policy. We established that the incident could only have been caused by a manufacturing defect, and that the loss therefore was not covered under a manufacturing defect policy exclusion. The court denied the plaintiff’s motion to set aside the verdict, which the jury rendered unanimously after only 35 minutes of deliberation.

Successfully briefed and argued a motion for summary judgment before the Southern District of New York in the World Trade Center Disaster Site Litigation, dismissing plaintiff’s complaint against a prominent construction manager stemming from remediation work conducted in Lower Manhattan following 9/11. Plaintiff’s allegations were rooted in New York Labor Law 200 and 241(6). Kowalewski v. Deutsche Bank Trust Co Americas, et al., 44 F. Supp.3d 445 (S.D.N.Y. 2014).
