Many firms list cases from a long time ago but large corporations, institutions and insurers are not worried about what happened ten, twenty or thirty years ago.  In a “what have you done lately” world, here are some of Merson’s top results in 2025 alone:

• $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
• $7.5 motor vehicle accident arbitration award (that exceeded the coverage available so the amount recovered was less)
• $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
