Some firms rely on results from ten, twenty, even thirty years ago. That may look impressive on paper—but it doesn’t move today’s defendants or insurers. In a results-driven, present-tense legal landscape, only recent wins carry real weight. Here are Merson Law’s top results in 2025:

• $20.5 million medical malpractice settlement for famous professional athlete
• $12 million settlement value for child injured after birth
• $9.5 million confidential sexual abuse settlement in New York City
• $9 million medical malpractice settlement for man with partial paralysis in upstate New York

• $10.1 million sexual abuse jury verdict in Westchester County
• $6 million birth injury settlement in New Jersey
• $24 million confidential product liability settlement
• $8 million settlement value for birth injury case
• $12 million wrongful death settlement
