Verdicts & Settlements

New York City attorneys at the Law Office of Philip P. Vogt, PLLC have a record of success that exemplifies that we truly care about you. We have won many million-dollar verdicts for our clients over the years:

Significant Cases

• $3,325,000 verdict for a railroad worker who was stuck by a discarded hypodermic needle while walking along the track bed (“fear of disease”).
• $2,887,370 verdict for a driver who sustained debilitating injuries to her neck and back after being struck by a Nassau County Police Car. Our NY auto accident attorneys successfully argued that the Police Officer was driving with a reckless disregard towards the safety of other motorists at the time of the accident and the County was therefore liable for the injuries he caused.
• $2,200,000 for a LIRR conductor injured at work due to defective train equipment.
• $1,851,171 verdict for a railroad conductor who suffered a severe head injury when he struck his head on a signal relay case that was positioned on a station platform. Using internal work rules and an expert witness, our NY railroad accident lawyers were able to show that PATH required its conductors to maintain a safe lookout of the platform as the train exited the station and that they were negligent in placing a signal relay case within inches of the edge of the platform.
• $1,700,000 verdict for a union employee who tripped and fell at a work site causing multiple herniated discs to his lower back.
• $1,500,000 for a railroad track worker who sustained serious knee injuries when he slipped and fell while working on the railroad tracks.
• $1,420,400 verdict for an individual who suffered smoke inhalation and pulmonary injuries as the result of fighting a fire on board a Metro-North locomotive.
• $832,000 verdict for an individual that sustained lower back injuries as a result of a fall at work due to inadequate lighting at the job site.
• $800,000 for a New York City firefighter who suffered respiratory and pulmonary injuries while fighting a fire at a historic Manhattan hotel due to a defective SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) and face piece.
• $700,000 for a New York City police officer injured in a car accident while responding to a radio call in Queens.
