With more than 120 verdicts over one million dollars and over $3 billion recovered, Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore, LLP brings national-caliber trial strength to truck accident victims across New York. Known as KDLM, the firm prepares every case as if it will go to trial, on the view that trucking companies and their insurers only take claims seriously when they expect real accountability.
Truck cases differ fundamentally from car claims. A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, roughly 20 times an average car, and crashes often involve corporate defendants, multiple layers of insurance, and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations. Evidence such as driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data can disappear quickly, so KDLM works with investigators to preserve it and identify every responsible party, from the trucking company to a cargo loader or parts manufacturer.
The firm’s results reflect that preparation. Attorney Thomas Moore secured a $78 million verdict against a Canadian trucking company whose vehicle killed a New Jersey father and son, and a $40 million verdict for a Brooklyn construction worker permanently disabled after being struck by a Verizon truck. Other outcomes include a $10 million settlement in a Manhattan delivery-truck case and a nearly $9.93 million settlement in an Upstate crash. KDLM offers free consultations at (212) 618-6800, and its office is at 217 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10007.
