New York, New York – On May 19, 2023, at approximately 3:19 in the afternoon, the firm’s client was slowing for a yellow light at Springfield Boulevard and Carson Street, Queens, NY when he was struck in the rear by a large commercial box truck. The client suffered severe personal injuries, including a shoulder injury requiring an arthroscopy. Given these facts, the law firm of Michael J. Redenburg, Esq., P.C. filed a lawsuit in Queens County Supreme Court located on Sutphin Blvd. in Queens County.

The case proceeded through litigation in the normal course, with the exchange of paper discovery and depositions taking place. Once complete, the insurance company for the box truck stated that they would only discuss settlement by way of Mediation. We agreed to try Mediation, and at the Mediation the insurance carrier for the offending vehicle only offered $50,000.00 to resolve the matter, which was rejected.

On November 5, 2025, a final settlement conference was held and the insurance company for the offending vehicle was still offering only $50,000.00 to settle the case, and so a final trial date was given by the Court. On November 12, 2025, the parties settled the matter, and the firm’s client can move on with his life.
