Proven verdicts and settlements
A Niagara County jury awarded $8.8 million to a 16-year-old girl whose right arm was severed by a tractor-driven post-hole digger with a defectively designed safety shield, a verdict the New York Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed in April 2014.
Noah Giusiana was arrested in Buffalo in June 2017 after an off-duty police officer working security at a movie theater took him to the pavement. A brain bleed went unrecognized while he was held in a police cell, and he needed emergency surgery. In 2023 he settled his claims against the City of Buffalo and the other defendants for $2.9 million combined.
