Man Settles Case against City of New York for $2.5M March 23, 2009

Decker, Decker, Dito & Internicola, LLP is pleased to announce the recent settlement with the City of New York for our client who was injured in the October 15, 2005 crash of the Staten Island Ferry boat Andrew J. Barberi. Our client was a passenger onboard the Barberi and sustained serious injuries when the ferry boat crashed into a concrete pier just outside the St. George Terminal. Despite his injuries, the client continued to aid in the rescue of the severely injured passengers on the ferry while awaiting emergency help. The client sustained numerous injuries to his neck, knee and shoulder during the crash. Due to his injuries, the client underwent spinal fusion surgery and multiple knee and shoulder surgeries. The case settled for $2,500,000.00 prior to the scheduled February 16, 2009 trial date. We wish the client well and hope that he will further recover from his injuries as time moves on. It was a privilege and an honor to represent him throughout this ordeal and we know that the future will bring him better days.
