After winning a $26.6 million jury verdict for a union mason who fell through defective scaffolding on the Longfellow Bridge, Andrew Abraham of Keches Law Group returned to court and proved that Liberty Mutual's insurers willfully refused to investigate or settle a clear liability case, prompting a judge to double the compensatory judgment to over $91 million under Chapter 93A and 176D.
A Middlesex County jury awarded $26.6 million to union mason John Rooney, Jr. after he fell through a two-foot scaffold gap during the Longfellow Bridge rehabilitation and suffered seven spinal operations and permanent disability, with pre-judgment interest bringing the total compensatory judgment to roughly $45.5 million.
A Hampden County jury awarded $9.5 million to the adult daughters of Zoe Rosenthal, a 52-year-old Holyoke teacher fatally struck in a crosswalk by a visually impaired driver in 2017, in what attorneys described as a record non-economic wrongful-death verdict with adult heirs in Western Massachusetts.
