In a recent legal battle, Sumit achieved a significant victory for his client against challenging odds. The case involved a cumulative trauma claim with alleged injuries to multiple body parts. Rather than allowing the claim to drag on with delays due to the claimant’s missed appointments and deadlines, Sumit pushed the claim forward, advocating for an immediate trial rather than allowing the claimant further postponements.
Sumit challenged the Judge’s advice that he would simply issue a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Claim, which would have undoubtedly brought objection by the claimant and further litigation, Sumit argued to keep the trial on in order to present a record and finality. As hoped, the trial proceeded without the claimant introducing new evidence, ultimately leading to a favorable judgment. The Judge’s Take Nothing order spared Sumit’s client from considerable financial liabilities, including costly evaluations, litigation and legal fees, and settlement expenses.
This case not only highlights Sumit’s aggressive defense tactics, but also underscores his strategic acumen in navigating scenarios to protect his client’s interests.
