Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore won a $172 million jury verdict in Bronx Supreme Court for a woman left with catastrophic brain damage after FDNY EMTs responded to her 1998 cardiac arrest without essential equipment and advised her family to wait for a second ambulance instead of transporting her immediately.

A Bronx jury awarded $120 million to Jacqueline Martin, a 45-year-old mother who suffered permanent brain damage after three New York City hospitals repeatedly failed to recognize and treat a severe allergic reaction to seizure medication that triggered Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

In April 2023 a Wayne County jury awarded $96 million to the widow and mother of Jude and Zachary Attianese, a New Jersey father and son killed when a Challenger Motor Freight tractor-trailer rear-ended their car in an I-75 construction zone in 2018. The company had acknowledged responsibility, so the trial addressed damages. The driver was taking medications for Parkinson's disease, and the company had known of his diagnosis since 2015.

When a shunt revision at New York Hospital failed and went unaddressed in 1990, Samuel Desiderio suffered catastrophic brain damage; a jury awarded roughly $50 million and New York's highest court upheld the structured judgment in full.

A Manhattan jury found building owner 271 Madison Co. 100% liable and awarded $35.15 million to Meghan Brown, a former JPMorgan analyst who suffered a traumatic brain injury when a glass lobby door at 271 Madison Avenue shattered on her in February 2015.

In March 2017 a Manhattan jury found the owner of 82 Second Avenue liable after Anastasia Klupchak, then a 22-year-old NYU student, fell through an unguarded opening in an illegal vertical ladder fire escape in 2008 and was paralyzed from the waist down. The jury set her damages at about $37.4 million and found her 25 percent at fault, which brought the net figure to about $29.4 million. A high-low agreement signed before the verdict capped the payout, and Klupchak recovered $29 million.
