About Audra Roth
Audra R. Roth is a founding and managing partner of Roth & Roth, LLP, which she formed in 1998 with her husband and partner David A. Roth. She has pursued the rights of injured clients since 1994. Before founding the firm she worked on both sides of personal injury litigation, at small plaintiff's firms and at Zurich Insurance Company's in-house defense firm, experience that informs how she evaluates cases and builds strategy.
Her practice covers car accidents, premises liability, municipal liability, wrongful death, transit and bus accidents, truck accidents, and trip, slip and fall cases. Audra manages the day-to-day practice, works the caseload, and appears in court and at mediations and arbitrations, having litigated thousands of cases with a number of appellate wins on issues from the auto injury threshold to defaults by corporate defendants. She is a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice, the American Bar Association, and the Brooklyn Women's Bar Association, regularly attends lobbying events at the New York State Legislature, and is active in charitable work through the North Shore Women's Club, Dress for Success, Meals on Wheels, and local food drives.

A Brooklyn federal jury awarded $81.7 million to Luisa Janssen Harger Da Silva, a Brazilian student who fainted onto the tracks at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station in 2016 and lost her left arm and left leg, in the first US verdict holding a transit system liable for failing to install platform barriers, but the money is far from paid: the MTA says it will appeal, and its fully briefed motions to throw out the verdict entirely or order a new trial are still pending before Judge Frederic Block.
Daniel Prude, a 41-year-old Rochester man in the middle of a mental health crisis, died in March 2020 after police officers put a spit hood over his head and held him face down on the pavement until he stopped breathing. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from asphyxia during restraint, though a state grand jury declined to indict the officers. Elliot D. Shields of Roth & Roth, LLP filed the family's federal civil rights suit against the City of Rochester in September 2020. On October 6, 2022, a federal judge approved a $12 million settlement, split evenly between pain-and-suffering and wrongful death claims, with the city admitting no liability.
