Associate Kirby Smith Obtains Defense Verdict

BMM Trial attorney Kirby Smith obtained a defense verdict on liability in a hotly contested three-week trial in Brooklyn before Judge Aaron D. Maslow. Our defense focused on attacking the credibility of the codefendant driver, and Kirby cross-examined him aggressively regarding his various lies. 

The codefendant was rushing home to his wife after an assignation with his girlfriend.  Kirby convinced the jury that the good-for-nothing cheating husband was speeding and recklessly sideswiped our client’s vehicle, lost control, rolled over twice, and landed on the plaintiff pedestrian who was minding his own business standing on the sidewalk on Church Avenue. Congratulations to Kirby Smith on this well-deserved victory.
