Robert Feinberg has the highest personal injury verdict in Massachusetts over a five year period; has the highest personal injury settlement in Massachusetts in the last year; and the second highest personal injury settlement in Massachusetts this year, all as reported in the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.* In a landmark victory, a Massachusetts Superior Court jury awarded Robert Feinberg's client $7.7 million including interest as a result of a boiler explosion, and this became the highest injury verdict in Massachusetts over a five year period, excluding medical malpractice. The victory for the industrial worker was achieved despite years of claims that he was at fault for his accident and thereby entitled to nothing. As reported in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in 2019, Mr. Feinberg resolved a construction site accident for $5.35 million dollars. The young construction worker had suffered very serious leg injuries. The defendant, the general contractor, argued that the responsibility for this roofing accident was that of the plaintiff's employer and not the general contractor. The case successfully resolved after numerous depositions. Mr. Feinberg hired 11 experts, 3 on construction site safety and management, and 8 on damages. Also, as reported in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in 2019, Mr. Feinberg along with Colleen Santora tried a pedestrian/motor vehicle accident in which their client suffered a severe calcaneous fracture. The jury returned a verdict of $1.1 million dollars, far in excess of the insurance company's offer. As reported in 2020, Robert Feinberg settled another construction site injury, that one for 3.75 million. In actuality, the value of the settlement was close to 5 million dollars because of concessions made by the insurance company relating to past and future medical expenses. *excluding medical malpractice Robert I.
