On September 18, 2026, MG+M The Law Firm's New York trial team secured a victory for its clients, an owner and construction manager, in a New York Labor Law construction case.

The plaintiff, a 33-year-old laborer, was working on the excavation and underpinning of a foundation wall. He claimed he suffered career-ending injuries when a 500-pound piece of concrete footing became dislodged, striking him.

After a two-week bifurcated damages trial, the case settled for $8,380,000.  MG+M’s clients did not contribute to the settlement, having placed 70% and 30% on the two co-defendants during an earlier bifurcated liability trial. MG+M also successfully obtained contractual indemnification from its co-defendants.
 
The trial success was due to the outstanding efforts of the entire trial team, which included Partners Christian H. Gannon, Joel Merchant, and Ryan Sweeney; Associates Wade Bredin and Agustin Bujanda; Manager of AV Trial Technology Matt Garner; Paralegals Diana Pham, Jillian Mulrooney, and Aaron O'Rourke; Medical Legal Consultant Sophia Larig; and Legal Administrative Assistant Jackie Perez.
