In addition to its noted leadership in employment litigation, Wigdor LLP has a history of success and accomplishment in four critical practices: criminal law, sport and entertainment law, civil rights, and catastrophic torts.
CATASTROPHIC TORTS
Wigdor LLP represents clients who have suffered personal injuries, property damages and economic losses in some of the most high-profile catastrophic accidents that have occurred in recent years, including mass explosions and large-scale construction accidents. For example, the Firm represented the driver and passenger of the tow truck at the center of the Con Edison steam pipe explosion in midtown Manhattan in July 2007, who suffered severe, life threatening injuries.
The Firm also initiated litigation relating to the collapse of a construction crane in Manhattan that killed seven people, injured many others and resulted in significant property damage. We also represented the estate of Kunta Oza, who was killed in a Con Edison gas explosion at her home in Queens, New York.
