Premier New York Personal Injury Law Firm with Landmark Verdicts and Settlements

关于我们

Block O'Toole & Murphy is a premier New York personal injury law firm with a respected reputation. Our trial lawyers represent individuals who have suffered serious injuries as a result of construction accidents, motor vehicle crashes, premises liability incidents, and more. Since 2012, the firm has the highest annual number of reported results exceeding one million dollars in all of New York State. We take pride in litigating difficult injury cases for deserving clients, whose lives have been upended by serious accidents. We are not interested in a “quick settlement” unless it is beneficial to the client; we prepare every case as if it were going to trial. Our goal is to ensure all our clients receive every dollar of compensation they are legally entitled to. Some of our most notable results include a record-breaking $110,174,972 verdict for a 23-year-old cyclist who became paralyzed from the waist down after being struck by a falling object, a $32,756,156 verdict for a Vietnam veteran who was seriously injured by a reckless driver, a $20,181,484 verdict for a motorist injured while driving on icy roads, and a $15,000,000 wrongful death settlement for the family of a worker who tragically died in a construction accident. Our philosophy: We will not be outworked. We will not rest until justice is done for our clients. We are also proud to sponsor important charities like the Frances Pope Memorial Foundation, the United Cerebral Palsy Organization, Autism Speaks, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Block O’Toole & Murphy hosts a fundraiser every year in support of St. Jude and has raised over $5 million toward finding a cure for childhood cancer.

    Associate Aaron Fishkin secured a $935,000 settlement in a Nassau County case for a 67-year-old pedestrian who was struck by a turning vehicle while crossing the street at a crosswalk. Our client sustained rib fractures and shoulder injuries, which ultimately led to her undergoing two arthroscopic shoulder surgeries. ? This settlement was reached efficiently – less than a year after the accident – and despite the defense’s claim that our client’s shoulder injuries were degenerative in nature.

    Partners Daniel O'Toole and Joshua Stern secured a $3,000,000 settlement for a client who injured his knees, neck, and back after being rear-ended by an Access-A-Ride bus. Our client did not seek treatment until three days after the accident, when the pain became too much to bear. To address the injuries, our client ultimately underwent cervical disc replacement, bilateral knee arthroscopies, pain management, and other conservative treatments.?? Despite claims that our client’s injuries were not causally related to the accident, our attorneys successfully settled this case for $3,000,000, which included the entire insurance policy above New York City Transit Authority’s Self-Insured Retention limits. If the defense did not offer the full $3,000,000, our attorneys were prepared to bring this case to trial.?

    Partners Jeffrey Block and S. Joseph Donahue secured a $1,500,000 settlement for a client who injured his back, neck, and shoulder after another vehicle struck his car at an intersection. MRIs revealed disc herniations in our client’s lumbar and cervical spine, as well as tears in his left shoulder. When conservative treatment failed to resolve his pain, our client underwent lumbar fusion surgery. ? Despite the defense’s claims that our client’s injuries were caused by natural bodily deterioration rather than the accident, the case settled at mediation prior to trial.

    Partners Daniel O'Toole and Frederick Aranki secured a $4,500,000 settlement for a construction worker who fell approximately 10 feet after the scaffold plank he was standing on broke. Our client suffered serious injuries to his neck and back, which required surgeries to his lumbar and cervical spine to resolve.

    Partners Daniel O'Toole, Frederick Aranki, and Pawel P. Wierzbicki, Esq. secured a $5,050,000 settlement for a carpenter who fell off a ladder at a Queens construction site. Our client injured his lumbar spine in the fall, which ultimately required surgical intervention. Defense argued that the injuries claimed by our client were not causally related to his fall. They pointed out that the initial hospital records mentioned that the plaintiff felt low back pain when lifting heavy bricks at work.? ? Due to weakness in his left leg after the surgery, our client had a subsequent fall, sustaining consequential injuries to his left ankle and knees. These injuries required additional, extensive treatment. Despite the defendant's arguments, our attorneys managed to settle the case at the second mediation while on the trial calendar.??

    We at Block O’Toole & Murphy are thrilled to announce that two of our attorneys, Christina Mercado and Joshua Stern, have been made partners at the firm. Starting as a summer intern with the firm in 2010, Christina eventually came to lead our appellate and complex motions practices, bringing her superior research, writing, and analytical skills to every case. Joshua, meanwhile, joined us in 2021, following a decade working on the defense side of litigation. It was there, litigating cases against BOM, that his talents were recognized by our firm, and since his hiring, he has played a role in the recovery of over $43,000,000 for our clients. Both have become invaluable members of the BOM team, and we’re excited to have them with us as partners for years to come. Join us in congratulating Christina and Joshua!
