Significant Settlements

ChasenBoscolo continues to achieve significant outcomes for injured clients. Some recent verdicts and settlements include:

  • On January 17, 2012, Mike Reiter went to court on behalf of a client who was injured in a car accident caused by another person’s careless driving. The other driver lost control of his vehicle while switching lanes and crashed into our client’s vehicle. Our client suffered injuries to his shoulder as a result of the accident, and was offered $350 in compensation by the Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund. The client refused, and Mr. Reiter filed suit, skillfully arguing the case in the District Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland. After Mr. Reiter’s presentation of evidence, the trial judge awarded the client $3,000. The client was highly satisfied with the outcome of the case and, like many other injured victims who ChasenBoscolo has helped, was glad he got a Lawyer that Cared!



  • On October 12, 2011, Joseph Yahr successfully tried a case in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland. Our client was employed as an assistant manager for a linen company and suffered neck and back injuries from lifting a heavy box at work. Her back injuries were not mentioned in medical records for more than a month after her work accident. As a result, Travelers Insurance refused to accept the back problems as related to the work injury and refused treatment. Even though the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission ruled our client’s back condition was not related to the work accident, Mr. Yahr refused to accept that result. He filed an appeal for our client and successfully convinced a jury that her back injury was work related. Thanks to ChasenBoscolo’s representation, our client doesn’t have to worry about who is going to pay her medical bills—Mr. Yahr made sure Travelers Insurance will. Our client was delighted that she got a Lawyer that Cared!



  • On October 12, 2011, Benjamin Boscolo proved his client’s carpal tunnel syndrome was work related. Our client worked as a data entry clerk for the Prince George’s County Police Departments. As a result of typing seven hours a day, five days a week, she developed carpal tunnel syndrome. The police department sent her to a doctor who stated that if she did have carpal tunnel syndrome, it was not caused by work duties. The Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission accepted the opinion of the police department’s doctor and denied our client’s request for compensation and medical care. Mr. Boscolo appealed her case to the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County. At trial, Mr. Boscolo successfully argued to the jury that the Workers’ Compensation Commission was incorrect, and that our client’s carpal tunnel syndrome was caused by her work duties as a data entry clerk. As a result of the jury’s finding, she is entitled to medical care, payment of her lost wages while unable to work and compensation for her permanent injuries.



  • When a delivery truck driver with a surgical knee injury first contacted ChasenBoscolo, he considered accepting the insurance company's offer of $1,278.00 to settle his claim independently. A few months after retaining ChasenBoscolo, our client was thankful he didn’t. Attorney Jeff Tittsworth took the case to hearing before the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission, and got our client $23,025.00 in benefits; more than 18 times the insurance company's lowball offer. His case remains open should he need additional medical treatment related to his work injury. Great job, Jeff!

  • Congratulations to Amy Schaeffer on securing more than $100,000 in new benefits for our client! Our client fell from a ladder, which caused injury to her back and neck. For the first few years of her injury, she received conservative treatment. When she was initially brought before the Workers’ Compensation Commission, she received a permanent partial disability of 16 percent; however, after our client’s first disability hearing, her disability worsened and she was forced to undergo two back surgeries. Our client then went before the Workers’ Compensation Commission for a second time. The Commission stated her disability had only worsened by nine percent. Neither our firm nor the client agreed with the decision. While the case was on appeal to the Circuit Court, our client was forced to undergo a third surgery. We were able to secure a postponement of the trial to allow time for our client to heal. Then, right before our court date, the Employer/Insurer finally offered our client the money she deserved. More importantly, our client’s right to pursue future monetary benefits and future medical treatment remains intact.



  • On September 7, 2011, Mike Reiter went to court for a client who was injured in a car accident caused by another person’s careless driving. The other driver failed to control his vehicle while traveling through an intersection, and struck the rear of our client’s car. Our client suffered injuries to multiple parts of his body as a result of the other driver’s negligence. Allstate refused to take responsibility for the accident and offered no monetary compensation. Mr. Reiter filed suit. He tried the case in the District Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, and skillfully argued for our client’s right to full and fair compensation. Following the presentation of evidence, the trial judge awarded our client $15,000. Our client was overjoyed with Mr. Reiter’s representation. Like many other ChasenBoscolo clients, he was glad he made the decision to hire a lawyer that cared.

  • On August 17, 2011, Benjamin Boscolo successfully represented a Giant Food employee at a jury trial in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Our client worked for Giant for more than 29 years and as a result of her duties as a cashier (which included bagging groceries), she developed neck problems. Her neck symptoms progressed to the point that her doctor recommended neck surgery. Our client filed a workers’ compensation claim, which Giant Food denied. Mr. Boscolo argued that the years of bagging groceries constituted repetitive trauma, causing her neck injuries. Giant took the position that our client’s neck injuries were not caused by repetitive trauma and even if they were, Maryland law did not require Giant to pay for injuries resulting from repetitive trauma. The Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission first heard the case and ruled that our client’s neck injury was not caused by repetitive trauma and was therefore, not a covered injury under Maryland law. Not satisfied with the unfavorable decision, and never one to give up the fight, Ben appealed the decision to the Circuit Court in order to protect our client’s interests. At trial, Ben successfully convinced they jury that repetitive trauma is an accident under Maryland law and that the Workers’ Compensation Commission was wrong in denying our client benefits. As a result of Ben’s excellent legal effort, Giant Food must now pay for our client’s neck-related medical care, including her neck surgery, her lost wages while recovering from her injury and money for her permanent neck injury. Our client was thrilled with the outcome and grateful that she had a Lawyer who Cared!



  • On August 16, 2011, Amy Schaeffer successfully tried a jury trial in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland. Our client worked as a carpenter and injured his low back when he slipped and fell. He had been represented by another law firm for seven years, but was no longer satisfied with the legal representation and poor customer service provided by the other firm, so he contacted ChasenBoscolo. He asked us to take-over his case after the prior law firm attended a hearing which resulted in a 15 percent permanent partial disability ruling, equaling only $18,075.00. Despite the lengthy case history, ChasenBoscolo agreed to take over the case. Through Ms. Schaeffer’s dedication, skill and willingness to correct an injustice, she successfully convinced a jury that his disability totaled 45 percent, and our client was found to be entitled to $54,225.00. Congratulations on another victory!

  • On August 8, 2011, Mike Reiter went to court for a client who was injured in a car accident caused by another person’s careless driving. The other driver failed to yield while making a left turn and struck our client’s car. Our client suffered injuries to multiple parts of her body and significant damage to her vehicle as a result of the other driver’s negligence. State Farm refused to agree to a fair settlement, and in response to their unsatisfactory offer of only $14,210.24, Mr. Reiter filed suit. He tried the case in the District Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland, and skillfully argued for our client’s right to full and fair compensation. Following the presentation of evidence, the trial judge awarded our client $22,690.24. Our client was overjoyed with Mr. Reiter’s success and, like many other injured victims who ChasenBoscolo has helped, glad she got a Lawyer that Cared.



  • On July 20, 2011, Jeff Tittsworth successfully represented our client before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission and secured a significantly higher settlement than what was initially offered. Our client sustained serious shoulder injuries while hanging display signs when employed by Shoppers Food Warehouse. She required five surgeries, including two arthroscopic procedures and reconstruction of her right biceps, as a result of her injuries. The doctor our client was referred to by Shoppers Food Warehouse indicated that she had impairments of 3 percent to left shoulder and 2 percent to right shoulder, which would have resulted in benefits totaling $2,850.00. We found this negligent assessment and compensation proposal to be unfair, and we proceeded with the hearing. Thanks to Mr. Tittsworth’s efforts, the Commission ruled that our client had a 50 percent disability and was entitled to $180,486.00 in damages. We secured substantially greater benefits and far exceeded the insurance company’s doctor’s suggestion—our client got a Lawyer that Cared and was elated with the results.

  • Attorney Jessica Bhagan went to court for one of our clients who was injured as a result of another person’s careless driving. Our client sustained whiplash injuries when her car was rear ended by another vehicle traveling at a very slow speed. GEICO didn’t believe our client was injured and not only refused to make a fair settlement offer, but refused to make any settlement offer—zero. Jessica filed suit and tried the case in the District Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland on July 25, 2011. After the presentation of the evidence, the trial judge awarded our client $12,750.00.



  • On July 20, 2011, Amy Schaeffer successfully tried a jury trial in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. Our client was injured while working as a drywall installer/painter. She sustained multiple injuries, including to her neck, when she was lifting some debris to put in a trash barrel. Despite the fact that her doctor recommended neck surgery, her employer and the insurance company refused to authorize the surgery. Not satisfied with that decision, we requested a workers’ compensation hearing, and unfortunately, the workers’ compensation commissioner agreed with the insurance company and denied our client’s request for neck surgery. We appealed to the circuit court to correct this injustice. During preparation for the trial, the insurance attorney frequently stated to Ms. Schaeffer that the appeal was a waste of time and we were not going to win. Undeterred, Ms. Schaeffer carefully prepared her case and mapped out her strategy. The insurance company had two doctors on their side versus one for our client. In the end, it didn’t matter because Ms. Schaeffer successfully convinced the jury that our client needed the surgery. As a result, the insurance company is obligated to pay for the neck surgery and awarded past due benefits totaling $26,912.00 and $498.00 per week until our client has recovered from the surgery. Our client was thrilled with the outcome since it enables her to receive the necessary medical treatment and financial support during her recovery, and she was particularly pleased with the Ms. Schaeffer’s representation.

  • This case is yet another example of an insurance company not doing the right thing and ChasenBoscolo holding it accountable. Our client had a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy with GEICO. He had a car accident, which required medical care and treatment. When our client submitted medical bills pursuant to the PIP policy, GEICO refused to pay the full charges of the medical provider. Had we not fought for this client, he would have been responsible for the outstanding balance. Although the difference was only $197.50, ChasenBoscolo Attorney Mike Reiter was not going to let GEICO have its way. We filed suit against GEICO. After a district court trial in Prince George’s County, GEICO lost yet again against a ChasenBoscolo attorney. Even though the disputed amount was small, ChasenBoscolo fought big to hold the insurance company accountable. Our client was delighted with his results and that we held GEICO accountable. Great job Mike Reiter!



  • In September 2010, a client came to our law firm after having been previously represented by three different well-regarded firms. Each of the firms investigated the claim and concluded that the client was not eligible for benefits. Though she came to us discouraged, our new client wanted one last legal opinion before abandoning her claim. Our client was married to a Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority (WMATA) track repairer. On August 9, 2009, while working on the rail tracks, her husband was struck and killed by a vehicle operated by a WMATA employee. Our client filed a workers’ compensation claim for her husband’s death against his employer—WMATA—in the District of Columbia. WMATA denied the claim challenging the marital relationship and arguing that the couple had separated, were no longer together, and/or did not have a valid marriage. After attending an informal conference before the Office of Workers’ Compensation, it was recommended that our client receive death benefits. WMATA rejected the recommendation and filed for a hearing before an administrative law judge. ChasenBoscolo Attorney Mike Kitzman proceeded to court on our client’s behalf. Through his representation, our client won benefits in excess of $70,000.00, plus continuing payments to her and her young daughter. Great job Mike!

  • On April 19, 2011, Joseph Yahr secured $21,975 for a Maryland truck driver/delivery man who injured his shoulder. While unloading a truck, our client slipped and fell inside a restaurant. He missed one month from work due to his injuries, before returning full time as a truck driver/delivery man. Since the accident was work-related, we filed a workers' compensation claim in order for him to secure his lost wages, payment of medical bills and compensation for his permanent shoulder injury. The Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission awarded $3,990 to our client for his shoulder injury. Not believing that our client was fairly compensated, we appealed the case to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County. As a result of Mr. Yahr's successful efforts, the jury awarded our client $21,975 or more than five and half times the benefits originally awarded by the Workers' Compensation Commission.

  • Attorney Tom Teodori recently attended a Maryland Workers’ Compensation hearing that resulted in an award of $268,758 for our client. Our client was employed as a diesel mechanic when he sustained back injuries while working on a fire truck. He underwent years of medical care, including physical therapy, pain relief injections, medications, and surgery on his low back. Unfortunately, the medical treatment failed to provide our client with the necessary relief to return to his employer of more than twenty-five years. Taking into consideration his injuries and the impact they had on his ability to earn wages, the Workers’ Compensation Commission found that our client had an 85 percent disability, which equaled $268,758 in benefits.

  • Ben Boscolo successfully convinced a Prince George’s County jury to award $182,000 in workers’ compensation benefits to our client who suffered a pinched nerve when he fell at his job as a train operator. After the accident, our client underwent rehabilitation and returned to work as a bus operator. During his workers’ compensation hearing, our client made an incorrect statement regarding his work status and, as a result, was terminated by his employer and was only awarded $28,270 in benefits. Mr. Boscolo appealed the jury’s decision. The result was an award of $182,000 in permanent partial disability benefits. It was another great outcome for a ChasenBoscolo client.

  • On September 8, 2010, Benjamin Boscolo secured $36,790 for a truck driver/delivery man who suffered a back strain and aggravated underlying degenerative conditions in his lower back. Our client was unloading a truck when he fell backward onto a dock plate and was pinned under a very heavy pallet jack. He missed 2 ½ months from work before returning full time as a truck driver/delivery man. Since the accident was work-related, we filed a workers' compensation claim for him. The Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission awarded $5,130 to our client for his permanent injuries. Not believing that our client was fairly compensated, we appealed the case to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County. As a result of Mr. Boscolo's successful efforts, the jury awarded our client more than seven times the benefits, which had been awarded by the Workers' Compensation Commission. Prior to trial, the insurance company offered $5,000 to settle the case. The case remains open should our client’s injuries worsen and he requires additional medical care.

  • Attorney David Falcon recently settled a claim for a laborer who was working for a construction company in Gainesville, Virginia, on March 18, 2008, when a train cart he was unloading flipped and rolled over on top of him. He suffered severe injuries to all four extremities, and ultimately, underwent multiple surgeries to his arms and legs and was left with permanent nerve damage in his leg and limited use of his left arm. As a result of Mr. Falcon’s representation, the insurance company paid out $493,541 in benefits.

  • Benjamin Boscolo successfully argued to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals that a bus operator developed arthritis in his knees as a result of 27 years of bending and straightening his knees while driving for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). WMATA argued the arthritis was a product of the driver’s weight and age, but the evidence established the bus operator’s job required him to bend and straighten his knees more than 23,500 times during his career. As a result, the jury found that the arthritis was an occupational disease for bus operators. This verdict will require WMATA to cover three knee surgeries and the time the driver lost from work while recuperating.

  • Benjamin Boscolo successfully represented a former Washington Redskins wide receiver. On June 16, 2010, when a jury found that the professional football franchise was responsible for providing medical care for the player’s left shoulder injury sustained when he landed on his left shoulder during a game at FedExField in December 2003. Counsel for the Redskins argued employment as a professional football player was hazardous, and the injuries suffered by the player could not be accidental. In rejecting this argument, the jury found the client’s shoulder injury was neither expected nor intended by him when it occurred. As a result, the Redskins will have to provide medical care for the player’s shoulder injury for the rest of his life.

  • Benjamin Boscolo successfully represented an injured HVAC technician before a Prince George’s County jury. Based on the client’s neck, shoulder and hand injuries, the Workers’ Compensation Commission determined he suffered from a 34 percent permanent disability. This resulted in the client being entitled to slightly more than $35,000 in benefits. Mr. Boscolo appealed this decision to a jury, which reversed the Commission’s ruling and found that—as a result of the client’s herniated disc in his neck, tendinitis of his shoulder and carpal tunnel syndrome—he suffered a 68 percent disability, entitling him to more than $143,000 in additional tax-free benefits.

  • Tom Teodori helped settle a claim for more than $4,200,000 for a Prince George's County man injured at a construction site.

  • David Falcon recently secured $1,165,000 in a Virginia workers' compensation claim for a worker from El Salvador who sustained serious injuries falling from a roof.

  • Howard Ackerman and Tom Teodori resolved a disputed Virginia automobile accident claim for $525,000. The insurance company refused to consider settlement until suit was filed. The settlement proceeds were on behalf of the surviving wife and children of a man from Ghana.

  • Benjamin Boscolo recovered $603,000 in a D.C. workers' compensation claim for a construction company superintendent who sustained a lower back injury after lifting a box.

  • Benjamin Boscolo secured $979,160 in a Maryland workers' compensation claim for a phone company technician who suffered multiple physical and mental injuries when assaulted by a coworker.

  • Benjamin Boscolo negotiated a $624,704.08 settlement for a housekeeper who was injured while lifting a bucket of water.

  • Matt Peffer successfully recovered $200,000 and lifetime medical coverage in a D.C. workers' compensation claim for a WMATA bus operator.

  • We represented a truck driver who was injured when he rolled his truck over to avoid smashing into a car that had cut him off. The Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission awarded him a 25 percent permanent disability worth $33,375. We appealed to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, and a jury found that he had a 71 percent disability worth $148,956 in benefits.

  • We represented a laborer who injured his lower back when he slipped and fell in a garage. The Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission found that he had a 55 percent disability despite the fact that he was unable to work. We appealed to the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, and the Court found that he was permanently and totally disabled. This resulted in our client receiving weekly benefits for the remainder of his life. The present value of this award is in excess of $165,000.

  • We represented a bartender who injured his back when he fell through an open trap door. The Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission ruled that he only sustained a 26 percent permanent partial impairment. We appealed to better the award for our client. A circuit court jury for Queen Anne’s County found that he had a 60 percent disability, entitling our client to $45,000.

  • We settled a longshore case for $600,000 for a stevedore who injured his back when the cab of a crane shook and threw him to the ground.

  • We successfully argued that a professional soccer player’s appearance fees and endorsement deals were part of his wages and, therefore, increased the benefits awarded to the player.

  • State Farm Insurance only offered our client $2,227 to settle a car accident claim. We rejected the insurance company low ball offer and tried the case in court. The judge awarded our client $18,200.

  • GEICO offered $5,000 to settle a car accident claim. We tried the case in court, and our client was awarded $16,830.

  • Allstate refused to offer more than $6,950 to settle our client’s car accident claim. We tried the claim in court, and our client was awarded $17,330.

  • We agreed to handle a claim for a client after another well-respected law firm told him he didn't have a case. We settled the case within two months for $70,000.

  • We settled a car accident claim for $100,000 on behalf of a client who was struck from behind.

  • We represented the family of a Delaware car accident victim who died from the injuries she sustained in the accident. The pre-trial conference was held at the U.S. District Court in Baltimore.
