Other high-profile SMBB cases include a medical malpractice settlement on behalf of the teenager who died in a University of Pennsylvania gene therapy trial. The firm also secured the largest settlement ever reported - $20 million - involving bad faith by an insurer in Pennsylvania.
Currently, SMBB lawyers are representing the family of the worker who was crushed by a crane at a Manhattan subway construciton site. A Nursing home resident whose abuse was captured on a family planted nanny cam. The father killed by a drunk car salesman during a test drive.
