Episode Details:
Million Dollar Advocates Forum member Craig Milsten of KBG Injury Law shares how he successfully represented an elderly man with limited vision who was blinded due to a fall on an unmarked step at a shopping center in York County, Pennsylvania. On July 3, 2012, William Waite, a U.S. Army veteran and retired president of an architectural products company with vision in only his left eye, tripped and fell face-first over a single step in the sidewalk at a shopping center owned by Argento Family Partnership. After the fall, William was immediately blinded in his one good eye and has been unable to see ever since, despite undergoing four surgeries, including a corneal transplant. Despite the fact that the primary defendant John Argento is an award-winning civil defense litigator, trial lawyer Craig Milsten secured justice on his client's behalf, citing experts and pointing out to the jury how much money John Argento was willing to spend on legal fees, but not the nominal fee it would have cost to paint the step a different color or to display a warning sign for customers. In March 2017, a York County, Pennsylvania jury found Argento Family Partnership negligent after less than an hour of deliberations and awarded $4,035,329.11 in damages to William in one of the largest personal injury verdicts in York County history.
