At Leitner Warywoda, every case represents more than a number — it represents a person, a family, and a fight for accountability. Our mission has always been to pursue justice for those who have suffered due to negligence and abuse, and we are deeply grateful for the trust our clients place in us.
Over recent weeks, our firm has successfully resolved numerous cases across New York involving medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, construction injuries, and catastrophic auto collisions, achieving more than $8 million in settlements on behalf of victims and their families.
Highlights from Recent Settlements
While client confidentiality prevents disclosure of names, several of our recent results illustrate the breadth and impact of our work:
$950,000 recovery in a catastrophic auto injury case, providing financial security to a family facing lifelong medical needs.
$800,000 settlement in a nursing home wrongful-death action, holding the facility accountable for egregious neglect that led to preventable loss.
Multiple mid-six-figure resolutions in cases of medical malpractice and elder neglect, including $550,000 and $530,000 outcomes where systemic failures in care were exposed and corrected.
$400,000–$500,000 recoveries in complex nursing home neglect matters, ensuring dignity and justice for residents who suffered in silence.
Recent verdicts and settlements ranging from
$150,000–$300,000 in personal-injury, premises-liability, and auto-collision cases, many involving hard-fought litigation and intensive expert analysis.
These outcomes are the result of meticulous preparation, collaboration with top medical and forensic experts, and an unwavering commitment to our clients’ truth. Each settlement not only compensates those harmed but also pressures institutions — hospitals, nursing homes, and corporations — to adopt safer practices.
The Broader Impact
Beyond the courtroom, these results signal something larger: that justice in New York remains accessible to ordinary people, not just powerful defendants or insurance companies. When a hospital fails to diagnose a critical condition, when a nursing home allows preventable bedsores or falls, or when a reckless driver changes a life forever — accountability must follow.
Every victory is a shared one: between the clients who had the courage to stand up, and our team, which stood beside them.
Moving Forward
As we close this chapter of recent achievements, we remain mindful that the work of justice is ongoing. Our attorneys continue to investigate and litigate cases involving medical negligence, nursing home abuse, construction injuries, and catastrophic accidents across New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley.
We extend our deepest thanks to the families who trusted us to tell their stories — and to our dedicated staff and co-counsel partners who make every result possible.
