Fighting For You

Since 1947, Galfand Berger has been a voice for injured workers, consumers, and individuals.  We are proud of the many recoveries we’ve made for our clients this year.  While these recoveries will never make our clients whole, they help calm some of the medical, emotional, and economic turmoil that a devastating injury brings with it.  Below is just a sampling of our firm’s recoveries:

• Rick Jurewicz obtained a $5 million recovery for the family of a man fatally injured when an 1800-pound paper roll crushed him. The paper roll had been improperly loaded and secured. Simple precautions could have prevented a senseless death.

• Peter Patton handled an industrial products case, in partnership with another attorney, in which a machine malfunctioned, pinning our client against a wall and killing him. Pete recovered over $1.5 million for our client’s family.

• Mike Malvey negotiated a $900,000 settlement for our client, a passenger in a rental car who was badly hurt in a guardrail accident.
