visual for a podcast on Medical Malpractice Lawyer Marijo Adimey on her recent $60 million verdictMedical malpractice trials are often cast as “battles of the experts.” But in this case, Marijo C. Adimey, partner at Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf, showed that the most powerful evidence isn’t just expert testimony—it’s the story jurors can see for themselves.

Through complex imaging, careful cross-examination, and relentless preparation, Adimey proved that “the treating doctor’s note in the patient’s chart cannot be right,” leading a Nassau County jury to return a record-setting $60 million verdict in favor of her client.
