$1,100,000 Passenger injured in an intersection collison
A great result for a woman in her 60s who was ready to settle for a $300,000 offer, then a $600,000 offer, then a $750,000 offer, then a $900,000 offer, but showed courage and faith in her attorneys resulting in the $1,100,000 settlement after jury selection.

$750,000 Driver sustained a brain injury in an intersection collison with a police vehicle
A woman in her 60s was blamed by the police officers for the collision. We were able to demonstrate that, in fact, the police vehicle which went through the all-stop-sign intersection without lights and sirens was responsible. Although the client suffered no fractures or surgeries, the Zivotov Law team used its expertise in cutting edge neurodiagnostic science to prove her brain injury to secure a $750,000 from the City of New York.

$950,000 Participant in a sports endurance event injured her knee in a fall
We take special pride in this settlement because we know of no other lawyer in New York State who was able to approach such a result against this particular defendant for a client voluntarily participating in a grueling, physically demanding event. We successfully overcame the assumption of risk defense, the signed waiver of liability defense, the signed mandatory arbitration agreement, and the defendant’s bankruptcy stay to secure the $950,000 settlement for a 32 year old professional woman injured by a poorly designed obstacle. That took excellent advocacy and dogged perseverance! Kudos to our client for staying with the fight and refusing lower settlement offers!

$275,000 Pedestrian struck by SUV sustained a brain injury
A Chinese woman with very limited English skills was blamed by the driver of the SUV for the accident who claimed that she was not in the crosswalk when he hit her. We were able to demonstrate that the physics of the collision proved that our client was crossing in the crosswalk. Although the client suffered no fractures or surgeries, the Zivotov Law team used its expertise in cutting edge neurodiagnostic science to prove her brain injury to secure the $275,000 settlement.  Regrettably, the available insurance was limited to $300,000, otherwise we would have sought a much higher recovery.
