Howard S. Hershenhorn is a partner at Gair, Gair, Conason, Steigman, Mackauf, Bloom & Rubinowitz. The youngest lawyer to be selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America and New York magazine’s “Best Lawyers in New York” in the areas of personal injury litigation and medical malpractice, Mr. Hershenhorn has obtained some of the largest verdicts and settlements in New York and New Jersey. Howard Hershenhorn was also awarded the highest rating possible by his peers in the 2009 Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings and he recently was recognized in the New York Times as being in the top 5% of all lawyers in the state by New York Super Lawyers.
His recent settlement of $26 million for the family of a well known financial analyst who was struck and killed by a truck when she was crossing Sixth Avenue in Manhattan is believed to be the largest in the State of New York for the wrongful death of one person. His New York County jury verdict of $12.5 million in a wrongful death elevator negligence case, cash settlements of $16 million for a Brooklyn construction worker and $10.75 million for a Manhattan nurse injured when the tires of a tractor trailer broke loose and struck her, as well as recent medical malpractice settlements of $8.5 million and $6 million, are a testament to his abilities as a trial lawyer.
