Albert and Horn Quoted in Livingston County News

Livingston County News quotes Marc Albert and Moshe Horn on the latest developments in the Wildcats case.

“We feel this is a very significant development and continue to be optimistic that New York law will be applied to the case,” said Marc Albert of the Buffalo firm Seeger Weiss LLP, which is representing 11 of the accident victims.

The issue is a critical one because the value of the vast majority of the victims’ claims far exceeds the Canadian cap on damages, Albert advised.

“We firmly believe that New York law – not Canadian – applies here,” Albert continued. “Not only did the accident take place in New York, but it involved commercial vehicles owned by defendant companies who were regularly using New York roadways for profit.”

“Application of a $326,000 Canadian cap to victims who sustained crippling orthopedic injuries, brain damage or death is incomprehensible,” stated Albert’s partner Moshe Horn. “This is especially so, given that the Court has already determined that New York law and un-capped damages will be applied to the claims of the truck driver, who has been held to be partially at fault for the accident. We’re very pleased that the Appellate Division has allowed us to appeal this issue to the Court of Appeals.”
