When it comes to advocating for injured individuals, Personal Injury Attorney Luke Needleman of CHASENBOSCOLO is driven by one goal: empowering his clients to tell their truth.
When asked what makes personal injury law the right discipline for him, Luke explained:
“I find it satisfying to get to know clients and their stories. Unfortunately, when we have the opportunity to hear those stories, it’s often during one of the most difficult times in their lives—financially and from a health standpoint. When those areas of life are challenged, it affects everything else. Getting to know our clients, understanding their struggles, and developing a plan to solve them is a truly fulfilling way to approach work.”
A Trial-Ready Approach from Day One
As a trial lawyer, Luke and his team prepare to go the distance from the very beginning of each case. Trials, he says, are often ideal for clients who aren’t willing to compromise on the justice and compensation they deserve.
“Not only from a results standpoint—because trials often achieve those results and help us meet our clients’ goals—but also because they provide a sense of closure. Clients can see the case through, understand the truth, and know how it would unfold if it went to trial. For clients seeking closure and meaningful outcomes, being a trial firm allows us to deliver that.” Luke remarked.
Standing Up for the Injured
Recently, Luke and his team obtained a successful jury trial verdict for a client who suffered severe injuries in a car crash caused by a negligent driver who crashed into the rear of his client’s car.
The crash left the client with serious neck and back injuries, as well as a traumatic brain injury.
The client—a hardworking community member—along with his wife and daughter, were on their way to visit a terminally ill family member at the time of the collision. Since the crash, his injuries have prevented him from doing the things he loves, such as caring for his family, traveling, and completing everyday tasks around the house.
“He worked his entire life up until the point of trial. He wanted to enjoy his retirement the way he had planned, but he couldn’t because of the injuries and the impact they had on his life,” Luke explained.
Overcoming Defense Tactics with Authenticity
One of the biggest challenges Luke faced in this case was the defense’s focus on his client’s treatment gaps. “There was a point when he took a year and a half off from treatment to care for his wife and daughter. The defense tried to use those gaps to question his credibility, thinking it would score points with the jury. But context matters—it wasn’t because he wasn’t injured; it was because he’s a good person who wanted to be there for his family,” Luke said. “When you take the time to truly understand a client’s story from their perspective, the truth always comes out. Things aren’t as black and white as insurance companies like to make them seem.”
Fighting for Fair Compensation
After denying benefits throughout the case, the insurance company made a last-minute offer just one month before trial—but it wasn’t even close to what the client deserved. “That’s a common tactic by the defense—to wait until the eleventh hour to make an offer. In this case, it was $50,000, which was nowhere near the true value of the case. It didn’t take much thought to reject it and move forward with trial, knowing it was the right decision to let the jury decide,” Luke recalled.
After three days in court, the jury delivered a $1.5 million verdict—a result that validated the client’s honesty and unwillingness to just accept what the insurance company was offering him.
“It makes the result even more rewarding because a jury of his peers agreed with how he felt all along. That validation is incredibly satisfying for him,” Luke reflected.
Why CHASENBOSCOLO Feels Like Home

“CHASENBOSCOLO takes a very cutting-edge approach to personal injury. We’re willing to take cases that we believe are right for trial.”
Advice for Potential Clients
For those considering filing a personal injury claim, Luke offers reassurance and perspective: “Many people feel overwhelmed when they’re up against big corporations or large insurance companies. It can feel like an uphill battle—and in many ways, it is. But once we’re involved, and especially if the case goes to trial, the playing field is level. The law ensures that everyone is treated equally, with no exceptions.”
