In today's breaking news, Attorney Gerry Oginski obtained a $1.55 million dollar verdict in a case involving a failure to properly perform foot surgery. The case took two weeks to try and the jury was given the case today, Friday, July 23, 2010. A unanimous verdict of six jurors resulted in the following awards:

Past pain and suffering: $375,000
Future pain and suffering: $1,125,000
Past loss of services on behalf of the husband: $50,000

Total: $1,550,000

The jury in Westchester County Supreme Court here in New York found that the podiatrist departed from good and accepted podiatric and surgical care, and that the departure was a substantial factor in causing my client injury.

Gerry practices law exclusively in the State of New York. Within New York he practices primarily in the following counties: New York, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau and Suffolk. Technically, Brooklyn is known as "Kings County," and Manhattan and New York City are known as "New York County." Staten Island is known as "Richmond County." These counties make up the New York metropolitan area.
