Steven J. Palermo
Steven J. Palermo is a partner in the law firm Palermo, Palermo & Tuohy, P.C. He was admitted to practice law in the State of New York in 1997. Shortly thereafter Mr. Palermo joined the law firm where he concentrates on representing victims of personal injury.
Over the last seven years Steven Palermo has successfully handled a wide variety of cases, including wrongful deaths, motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, defective product injuries, work related injuries, brain and spinal injuries, sexual abuse, and medical malpractice. Mr. Palermo is experienced in all aspects of litigation including settlement negotiations and trials. Further, he has successfully obtained millions of dollars in compensation for his clients.
Recently, Mr. Palermo obtained a verdict of $1,950,000 for a client that was injured by a convicted felon that was mistakenly released from jail. The case garnered a great deal of media attention because it was the first time that the State of New York was held liable for injuries caused by an accidentally released felon. The trial was reported in several prominent newspapers including New York Law Journal, New York Post, The Daily News, and Newsday.
In another recent case Mr. Palermo obtained a settlement of $975,000 for a client that was injured in an automobile accident. In that case the driver of the vehicle was insured for only $250,000. After a thorough investigation Mr. Palermo determined that the driver had leased the vehicle from a leasing company. Mr. Palermo was able to obtain an additional $725,000 for his client from the leasing company.
Mr. Palermo’s philosophy is to thoroughly prepare each case, no matter how big or small, as though it is going to be tried. It is only then that you can obtain the maximum amount of money for your client. Mr. Palermo has proven, through the numerous large cash awards he has obtained for his clients, that insurance companies respond to this strong aggressive approach.
