$600,000 FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE

During trial, Ronald D. Ingber successfully negotiated a $600,000 resolution for a New York City school where a leaky pool caused significant property damage. The client hired a pool company to construct and install an indoor swimming pool. Following the installation of the pool, the pool leaked. We sued the pool construction company and liner installer for their negligence. Negotiations were lengthy and complicated involving insurance disclaimers and disputes between the defendants and their respective insurance companies. Consequently, the settlement was divided between the defendants with the owner of the pool construction company paying a significant portion out of his personal assets. Thankfully, the pool has been repaired and is being used by the children of tomorrow.

$350,000 CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

The client, a 35-year-old banker who sustained carbon monoxide poisoning in a hotel, received a $350,000 settlement. As a result of the carbon monoxide poisoning, the client sustained central nervous system dysfunction, coordination and cognitive processing deficits and headaches. A lawsuit was commenced against the hotel for its negligence in the operation, maintenance and management of the hotel. This case was complicated by the fact that the client had numerous systems some of which waxed and waned creating an inconsistent finding by various doctors.
