Premises Accident: Slip And Fall In Westchester County Yields $650,000 Settlement At Mediation

Plaintiff, a 53 year-old insulator, allegedly slipped and fell on oil that had leaked onto the ground while working at a Westchester County, NY power plant. This matter recently settled for $650,000 at mediation.

Plaintiff claimed that the owner/operator of the plant, Entergy, was negligent in its maintenance of the premises, and that its negligence created a dangerous condition.

He sustained a herniation of his C5-6 intervertebral disc, fractures of ribs and a tear of one shoulder’s rotator cuff. He underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair the rotator cuff and fusion of a portion of his lumbar spine. He has not returned to work and still requires physicial therapy 6 years after the incident.

" Last year I was injured in an accident, and for the first time, needed the advice of an attorney regarding how to proceed. I was referred to Thomas Gallivan through a family member who is a lawyer in Massachusetts. I am beyond pleased with how Thomas handled my case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and although the case was not as straightforward as some, he used every resource to ensure a positive outcome. Thomas communicated with me regularly and I felt completely informed and confident in his ability. He expertly negotiated a fair settlement that I was very happy with. The entire experience was extremely positive, during a stressful time for me. Thank you Thomas. "

" I was a passenger on a motorcycle and ended up falling off the back of the bike due to the driver acting like an idiot. I fell off at a high rate of speed and was very banged up. Fractured wrist and road rash down my back and elbows. I am lucky I didnt die. Not knowing what to do I contacted Thomas and he could not have been anymore helpful!! He went out of his way to meet with me. He actually came to my house for the initial consultation. I know nothing about law or what my options even were. He took me through everything step by step.
