Verdicts & Settlements
In May 2025, Mr. Lesnevec took a verdict for $3,900,265 in Queens County, which amounted to $4,946,605 with interest. This verdict resulted from a rear-end motor vehicle collision where our client struck his head and shoulder on the driver’s side window. He was diagnosed with a mild brain injury and underwent spine and shoulder surgery. His pre-trial offer was $2,250,000.
In November 2024, Mr. Lesnevec won a $2,785,668 verdict from a Bronx County jury for a client which was struck on the foot by the wheel lift of a tow truck repossessing her car. Although she did not complain of her knee injury until 15 months later, it necessitated surgical intervention. Mr. Lesnevec confidently rejected the pre-trial offer of $100,000.
In February 2024, Mr. Lesnevec obtained a $1,637,500 Westchester County jury verdict for a victim of a slip and fall on ice. After obtaining 100% liability against the gas station during the liability phase, the defendant and its insurance carrier remained at a no pay, forcing Mr. Lesnevec to take another successful verdict.
In November 2023, Mr. Lesnevec achieved a $10,000,000 jury verdict for a victim of a three mile per hour side impact car crash. Mr. Lesnevec confidently advised our client to reject a $175,000 offer for her single shoulder arthroscopic surgery prior to closing arguments before the jury. This verdict was one of New Jersey’s highest personal injury verdicts of all time.
In February 2020, Mr. Lesnevec obtained a $9 million dollar jury verdict for a victim of a false arrest and assault resulting in a traumatic brain injury. The pretrial offer by the City of New York was only $50,000 to settle the case. Mr. Lesnevec’s verdict was ranked as the third highest verdict in the State of New York and the fifty-first highest verdict in the country for the year 2020.
