Proven verdicts and settlements at Westmoreland Vesper Quattrone & Beers, P.A.
These results are credited to Westmoreland Vesper Quattrone & Beers, P.A.. A result appears under an attorney's own name only when a published source names them as counsel on the case.
A federal judge in Camden, New Jersey, found a Connecticut boater primarily responsible for a 2007 waverunner collision off Wildwood that broke a 14-year-old passenger's leg. After a bench trial on liability, Judge Joseph E. Irenas of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey ruled that watercraft operator Marc M. Roy, Jr. was 80 percent at fault and fellow operator George R. Djukanovic, Jr. was 20 percent at fault, while finding the rental company, Lucky Fin Water Sports, LLC, not negligent. The case ended in a $1,350,000 judgment reported in June 2012. The court's opinion lists Westmoreland Vesper & Quattrone, P.A., by Thomas J. Vesper, as counsel for the plaintiff. Roy never answered the lawsuit or appeared in court, and the injured boy's father said the judgment was probably uncollectible.
