In March 2007, Alan J. Fumuso obtained a defendant’s verdict on behalf of his Oral Surgeon client after a one week trial in Supreme Court Queens County before Judge Allan Weiss. The matter involved a claim that the plaintiff/decedent, a 41 year old woman, bled to death following multiple tooth extractions. The jury found that the defendant conformed to accepted practice, and further found that the cause of death listed in the autopsy report of hemorrhagic complications following multiple tooth extractions did not accurately describe the cause or manner of death.
In May 2006, Alan J. Fumuso obtained a defendant’s verdict on behalf of his client, a dentist, following a three week trial before Judge Ute Lally in Supreme Court Nassau County. The plaintiff, a 42 year old housewife, alleged that the defendant failed to timely diagnose a cancerous lesion in her tongue, resulting in metastasis and reduced life expectancy. The jury found that the defendant acted appropriately, and that the plaintiff contributed to the delay by failing to follow medical advice.
In January 2006, Lorraine B. Polin represented the Town of East Hampton, in a case brought by 28-year-old Special Education teacher, who sustained a spiral fracture of the fibula (Weber C) of his right ankle as the result of an allegedly improperly fastened horizontal outfield post at the Terry King Park in Amagansett, New York. A pre-trial settlement offer of $25,000 was rejected by plaintiff’s counsel. Liability and damages were tried before the Honorable Justice Magistrate James Orenstein in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York and resulted in a unanimous defendant’s verdict by a 10 member jury.
