- $31 million verdict for a young man who sustained major injuries in a motor vehicle accident
We have created new law. In the notable case of Jones v. City of Philadelphia, attorney John M. Dodig successfully argued before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania that municipalities should be held responsible when police are negligent during a high-speed police chase. That case caused police departments to implement additional guidelines and safety measures in the way they conduct high-speed pursuits and opened the door for justice across the United States for innocent bystanders injured by negligently conducted police chases.
In Lipsky v. State Farm, attorney Ezra Wohlgelernter was lead counsel in a landmark decision where the Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that emotional distress, without physical injury, was covered as a bodily injury under State Farm’s automobile policy. The case, which arose under the tragic circumstances where an intoxicated driver struck and killed a 17-year-old pedestrian in the presence of his father and two brothers, brought closure to many more victims throughout Pennsylvania whose claims for these damages had been denied, pending the court’s resolution.
