A jury in Florida returned a $2.6M verdict against a rehab facility, making clear that it is unacceptable for a staff member left alone with a patient to sexually assault the patient. The highest pre-trial offer was $10,000. Thanks to Brett Steinberg of Steinberg Law, PA, and Jennifer Lipinski of Gordon & Partners (www.fortheinjured.com) for trusting Justice College’s Ilya Lerma to prepare the plaintiff for testimony and Charles Bennett to help structure the case.
As heart-wrenching as trials can be, getting victims what they deserve is why Justice College is so passionate about what we do. Through witness preparation and case structuring, Justice College helps plaintiff’s lawyers hold defendants and their insurance companies accountable.
