Stellar defense work by Goldberg Segalla partner Christopher F. Lyon and associate Matthew H. Feinberg secured in New York Supreme Court the dismissal of a claim brought against our client in a legal malpractice action.
The case was filed by a plaintiff who sued her former attorneys for allegedly failing to add in a timely manner a volunteer ambulance company to a lawsuit she initiated following a car accident. The plaintiff was treated for injuries at the scene and during that treatment, EMS — in attempting to triage the woman — cut through her pants to attend to a leg injury. In doing so, however, the first responder inadvertently cut into the plaintiff’s leg, resulting in a deep, long gash.
There were two different EMS providers at the scene, one of which was added to the underlying lawsuit. But as it turned out, it was the other provider who was responsible for the plaintiff’s scissor injury.
