Firm Settles Case against City of New York for $2.5 Million

Decker, Decker, Dito & Internicola, LLP is pleased to announce the recent settlement with the City of New York for our client who was injured in the October 15, 2005 crash of the Staten Island Ferry boat Andrew J.

Despite his injuries, the client continued to aid in the rescue of the severely injured passengers on the ferry while awaiting emergency help. The client sustained numerous injuries to his neck, knee and shoulder during the crash. Due to his injuries, the client underwent spinal fusion surgery and multiple knee and shoulder surgeries. The case settled for $2,500,000.00 prior to the scheduled February 16, 2009 trial date.
