Defense Verdict on Queens Retrial of Case

In Queens County, February 2025, Michael Morris obtained a defense verdict on a case that was a retrial of a plaintiff’s verdict that exceeded one million dollars.   The Appellate Division, Second Department, sent the case back to the Supreme Court for a retrial.  Plaintiff’s counsel claimed that our client, a physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR), preformed the provocative/diagnostic McMurray maneuver of plaintiff’s left knee resulting in an oblique tear of the medial meniscus.  Experts in radiology, PMR and orthopedic surgery assisted in our defense and the jury returned a defense verdict for our client.
