Our Record of Success

More Than $100 Million in Verdicts & Settlements For Personal Injury Victims

$3M

Recovered for Workplace Injury

$3.3M

Recovered for Injured Iron Worker

$1.4M

Recovered for Sexual Assault Victim

$6M

Recovered in Propane Explosion

$5M Recovered in Electrical Explosion

An electrician was badly burnt in an industrial workplace accident when he inadvertently came in contact with an undetected underground utility line and sustained significant second and third degree burns in the ensuing flash explosion. He endured multiple skin grafting surgeries, split-thickness grafts and suffered permanent and debilitating injuries. The lawsuit was mediated privately where he received a $5 million recovery.

$4M Recovered For An Electrician

An electrician directed to install a fence post was wrongly told that the sub-surface had been cleared of underground obstacles and conduits,, when in fact it had not. The post hit an underground electrical line resulting in an explosion and burns covering a significant portion of his body. After several years of litigation, the matter settled for $4 million.

$1.4M Recovered for Sexual Assault Victim

A disabled student suffered emotional and physical harm when he was sexually abused by a school employee over a period of time. Prosecuting the student’s claim against his former educators was complicated due to the lack of physical evidence and the limited intellectual capacity of the victim. After several years of litigation, and shortly before trial, the matter was settled for $1.4 million.

$3M Awarded for Workplace Injury

A journeyman electrician working in a ceiling was injured when he fell from a defective ladder. He sustained severe wrist injuries from the fall, ending his career and subsequently suffered two failed wrist surgeries. Following a lengthy, contentious mediation, the matter was settled for $3 million.

$6M Recovered in Propane Explosion

Two laborers sustained second and third degree burns over 60% of their bodies when a defective gas system allowed propane to settle in a basement where they were working. The victims underwent multiple surgical procedures and the matter was ultimately tried to a jury, which awarded the two men $5.7 million. After a victorious appeal, the matter was settled for $6 million.

$1.8M Awarded to Workman

A handyman who was installing an outdoor carport at a residence was severely burned when a piece of metal trim he was lifting came into contact with high voltage wires that were impermissibly close to the ground. He sustained significant burn injuries which rendered him permanently disfigured. The lawsuit led to a $1.8 million recovery for the workman.

$3.5M Recovery for Roofer

A craftsman fell 30 feet from a slate roof due to a lack of proper safety equipment. He sustained a collapsed lung and multiple fractures, resulting in a lengthy and painful recovery and rehabilitation. After protracted litigation, the matter was settled for $3.5 million.

$1.25M Awarded to Estate

A 17 year old student died in a devastating car crash in which he was the passenger in a vehicle rollover. New York law severely limits recovery for individuals with no earning history, however the matter was able to be decided in Connecticut to allow the student’s family to recover damages for “loss of enjoyment of life.” The Estate recovered $1.3 million.

$1.5M Recovery For Adolescent

A young girl was severely burned while showering in her family’s apartment after the landlord negligently failed to install a “scald-guard.” She sustained painful, permanent and disfiguring scars to her lower extremities. The young girl was awarded $1.5 million for past and future pain and suffering.

$3.25M Awarded to Iron Worker

An iron worker suffered severe facial burns when a piece of hot metal slag flew into an exposed waste oil tank, resulting in an explosion. The victim was transported to the hospital where he underwent multiple lengthy and painful surgical procedures. The matter resulted in a $3.3 million recovery.

$1.5M Recovered for Young Worker

A young quarry worker was seriously injured while working on a conveyor belt which malfunctioned. He sustained significant damage ultimately resulting in the amputation of his finger and complete disfigurement of his hand. The matter was litigated for several years before it ultimately resulted in a $1.5 million recovery for the young worker.

$4.5M Awarded to Journeyman Electrician

A building maintenance worker at an Albany, NY commercial, high-rise office building sustained 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 30% of his body when an electrical cabinet he was asked to disconnect the power from exploded. The victim was transported to the Westchester Medical Center Burn Unit where he underwent a grueling and lengthy series of surgical procedures to treat his injuries. During jury selection, the matter was settled for $3.3 million.

I’ve heard many lawyers advertise on tv that they can recover more money than what the insurance company initially offers, but how many of them actually do! Fortunately for me, I chose Denlea & Carton based on their lawyers’ backgrounds and experience, and not on some catchy jingle or flashy tv ad. I’m glad I did. I was offered $35,000 for my slip and fall case, but I ultimately recovered $350,000—ten times the amount the insurance carrier proposed. Thank you Denlea & Carton for a job well done!

Mis abogados fueron increíbles. Desempeñaron un papel crucial para ayudarme a comprender las acciones de mis médicos y explicaron de manera efectiva cómo se transmitiría mi tratamiento a un jurado. Esta información fue invaluable para ilustrar cómo se presentaría mi caso en la corte, lo que me dio confianza en el proceso. Estuve muy contento de trabajar con ellos.

I had no idea how ruthless the insurance companies and defense lawyers would be after my car accident. My attorneys at Denlea & Carton were my champions. They took the time to explain the process from the very beginning, and were by my side every step of the way. Having them fight for me, and help me to explain the feelings I was struggling to express, was life changing. I am forever grateful for their compassion, help and toughness.

Just a quick shout out to my paralegal, Allie, who helped me more than she knows. Allie was present during my Independent Medical Examination (IME). In the weeks prior, my attorney had prepared me extensively for this assessment. Feeling more confident on the day of the exam, and knowing I wasn't alone, was reassuring. The case was settled shortly after, but it was the constant support from my legal team that I will never forget.
