Counsel Frank Dumont Successfully Awarded Defense Verdict After Trial in Kings County, NY.

BMM Attorney Frank Dumont successfully secured a defense verdict following a trial in Kings County, NY. This case involved the representation of a public bus entity, where the plaintiff alleged to have suffered severe personal injuries, claiming that the bus operated by our client stopped abruptly. The plaintiff's demand prior to the trial was $6.5 million.

Fortunately for our client, there was video evidence of the incident, which depicted the plaintiff seated incorrectly in her chair. The footage also captured numerous other passengers, none of whom appeared to react when the driver made the stop. Despite the plaintiff's assertions that the Vehicle and Traffic Law mandates operators to stop in a specific manner, Attorney Dumont effectively argued to the jury that these claims were mere distractions and urged them to concentrate on the video evidence and their own observations. The jury concurred and delivered a unanimous defense verdict.

This victory exemplifies even cases tried in a notably liberal jurisdictions can still be effectively defended when the right attorneys are managing the cases. BMM takes pride in litigating numerous matters where liability and damages are heavily contested. Just because a plaintiff has sustained significant damages does not necessitate that a client must settle the case. We are committed to passionately trying these cases to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients!
