Fall Membership Dinner: VERDICTS
Thursday, November 6, 2025
In March of 2025, Jon Bak got a verdict of $1,257,250.00 on a $25,000 policy which was not timely tendered by Progressive. It was a motor vehicle accident where it was alleged that the defendant was intoxicated. The plaintiff initially treated with a chiropractor and about a year after the accident saw a pain management specialist. The underlying verdict was about 600k which the jury then doubled for recklessness. Both parties testified through an interpreter.
In April of 2025, Gordon Goldsmith received a verdict against Progressive in Bridgeport. It was a UIM case, where the tortfeasor had paid its $25,000 policy. It was a disputed liability car accident. The plaintiff and the plaintiff’s IME doctor were the only two witnesses. After deliberating for two hours, the jury returned a verdict in the amount of $234,000.
In April of 2025, Steve Errante received a verdict of $22.8 million from a Stamford jury in a medical malpractice matter. The case was brought on behalf of the estate of a woman who died during a C Section. No offer was made on the case.
