David M Wasser

Not too long ago I had a fall while attending my own retirement party from the Baltimore City school system. A Baltimore City employee had put down a runner on the floor that I tripped on, severely injuring myself. Baltimore City said I was at fault for the fall, that I had tripped over my own feet, ...that I was not using my cane, and they had multiple witnesses who were going to say that very thing. Baltimore city offered $7500 to settle the case. I had a previous attorney who refused to take the case to trial, and then I met Mr. Wasser. Basically he said "OK let’s go to trial against these guys," and that’s what he did. He had no fear of losing and he absolutely believed what I told him. The Baltimore City attorney was so certain he was going to win he actually came up to our table before the start of the jury trial and told Mr. Wasser "I'm goin to kick your ass in this case." I put that in here because that’s what he actually said. That only served to fire Mr. Wasser up. Mr. Wasser did beautifully at trial; he cut apart their multiple witnesses and showed that they were not telling what actually happened. The jury believed that I did not have a cane, that I did not need a cane, and did that I not cross my legs and trip, and they found that I tripped over this runner. Instead of the $7500 that the Baltimore city offered, the jury came back with a verdict of $205,000. The other attorney was furious. David Wasser fought for me then and he continues to fight for me now.
