NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ – This year, New York personal injury law firm Block O'Toole & Murphy continues its record of success for victims hurt in work accidents, vehicle crashes, and other devastating accidents.
Among the firm's 2017 results were a record-setting $13,500,000 recovery for an injured pedestrian – the highest reported personal injury settlement in Suffolk County – and a $12,000,000 settlement for an injured construction worker. In total, the firm attained well over $100 million in verdicts and settlements in 2017 alone.
