Maislen v. Associated Materials, Inc.
$2.5 Million jury verdict
A daughter who danced for the jury. A spin instructor who demonstrated a routine. These are only a few of the almost 30 witnesses who told the story of a 58 year old non-profit employee whose passions included theater and being a personal trainer. The life changing event occurred when a truck failed to yield the right of way, resulting in crush fractures of the elbow and hip, denervation of the deltoid muscle in his shoulder, concussion, and emotional injury.

The jury entered verdict for three times the defense's final offer.
