Case
Type: Pharmaceutical Litigation
Settlement:: $2.5 Million
Attorney: Gregory Feather
This case is one of the many
pharmaceutical litigation claims
that we have made against
pharmaceutical companies. We settled
the case for $2.5 million dollars on
behalf of a client who had taken a
drug that was subsequently removed
from the market by the FDA. The
client suffered severe heart
complications which required heart
surgery and has left the client with
a permanent injury. Due to a
Confidentiality Agreement which was
made part of the settlement with the
pharmaceutical company we are unable
to disclose more information
concerning the facts of the
settlement.
Case Type: MVA
Settlement: $1.2 Million
Attorney: David H Rosenberg
Case concerns a Fayette County man who was involved
in a crash with another vehicle on an icy roadway.
He sustained severe back injuries which required
many surgeries and left him permanently disabled
from work. He owned a large farm and was unable to
work the farm and the logging area on his farm. He
first was with another attorney, but came to our
firm to meet with Attorney Rosenberg. The case went
into litigation with his own insurance company on an
Underinsured Motorist claim. His own insurance
company made low offers, therefore, the case had to
be litigated. An award was entered close to $1.2
million for the client.
Case Type: Motorcycle Crash
Settlement: $1.2 Million
Attorney: David H Rosenberg

Case Type: Head-on Collision
Award: $1.1 Million Plus
Attorney: David H Rosenberg
This case concerns a Lebanon man who was involved in
a head-on collision when he was 31 years old. He
sustained severe neck injuries that required several
operations, leaving him permanently disabled from
work. The case was settled with the negligent party
for $25,000.00. An Underinsured Motorist claim was
then pursued through the client's own insurance
company. Since that insurance company would not
agree to pay the policy limits of the coverage and
even contested our client's injures, an arbitration
action had to be initiated. Handler, Henning &
Rosenberg succeeded in getting an award of
$1,185,000 for the client.

Case Type: Motor Vehicle Crash
Settlement: $250,000
Attorney: David H Rosenberg
This was a case that settled right before trial. It
involved two individuals who were driving down the
road when, a tractor-trailer drove by them and a
barrel fell off the trailer. The barrel broke open
and spilled on the roadway with some ore crashing
through the window, striking the passenger and
killing her instantly. The tractor-trailer left the
scene of the collision. The Pennsylvania State
Police were called to investigate and even set up
some roadblocks, but they were too late and were
never able to find out who was driving the
tractor-trailer. Approximately two years later and,
shortly before the Statute of Limitations was to run
out, the husband came to our office distraught. Our
office investigated this matter and we were able to
track down the truck driver. A lawsuit was filed
and, after approximately a year of legal wrangling,
we were able to settle the case on the eve of the
trial.

missed several months of work but eventually was
rehabilitated to the point where he returned to his
pre-injury occupation. Handler, Henning & Rosenberg
was successful in obtaining a $150,000.00
settlement; additionally, the insurance company paid
all of the individual's medical bills. |
