Ed Capozzi and Corey Dietz have successfully settled a personal injury matter against the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for $10,500,000.00, days before trial was set to begin. This is a tremendous result for our client, and I wanted to take a moment to celebrate this 8-figure achievement which does not happen often.

On March 2, 2020, our client was struck by debris that was propelled into the windshield while traveling on the upper level of the George Washington Bridge. The injuries our client sustained were devastating and life-altering.

By any measure this was an extremely difficult liability case. The Port Authority contested that the debris was present for only eight seconds before the accident. We argued that the debris was there for 10 minutes and 43 seconds. There was no conclusive proof one way or the other.

This case lasted many years, but we never wavered in our commitment to our client and to achieving the best possible outcome. Today’s result is a testament to that perseverance.

In addition to our attorneys, Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers wants to specifically recognize Marisol Tejada who worked tirelessly handling countless document requests, coordinating with clients, organizing records, preparing motions, and ensuring that every aspect of the case always remained on track and trial-ready.

We also want to recognize Victoria Verlezza, who stepped into this case years into the ligation and assisted with preparing solid motions and oppositions to various motions in limine. Her contributions throughout this process did not go unnoticed.

Most importantly, this settlement represents a life-changing recovery for our client — someone who endured unimaginable suffering and who deserved nothing less than our absolute best. Knowing that we were able to deliver this result is profoundly gratifying.
