Why Feldman Shepherd Is Different Than Other Auto Accident Firms

Unlike other high-volume auto accident firms, at Feldman Shepherd, we practice exclusively in high-stakes cases involving catastrophic injuries. In these complex cases, legal liability often extends beyond a careless or reckless driver and may include other parties such as establishments that overserve alcohol to a drunk driver, state and local governments responsible for dangerous roadway conditions at a crash site, and automakers when a vehicle defect leads to injury.

The Feldman Shepherd car accident team has the experience and resources to thoroughly investigate these sophisticated claims, so that we can identify all potentially liable parties and hold them accountable.

For example, attorneys John M. Dodig and Jason A. Daria secured a $31 million jury verdict against the County of Camden, in New Jersey, for a young man who lost his leg when his car was forced off the road and crashed into a defective guardrail.

Attorneys Daniel J. Mann and Bethany R. Nikitenko secured a $6 million settlement against a diner/bar that overserved alcohol to a patron, who later was involved in a drunk-driving accident that seriously injured a mother and her young son. The total recovery of $6.5 million (which includes the drunk driver’s insurance policy limits of $500,000) was recognized by the New Jersey Law Journal as the sixth-largest personal injury recovery in New Jersey in 2022.
