Hodgson v. The City of New York, et al.
The firm represented a manufacturer of an NYPD patrol vessel in a personal injury lawsuit commenced by a police officer who fell into a lower compartment while in the line of duty. The claims against our client were based on products liability and alleged design defects in the placement of the wheel and overhead radio in relation to the stairway. The plaintiff ultimately agreed to discontinue the claims against our client without any settlement payment after we established that another part was liable.
