Samer Habbas Secures $228,000 Settlement for Funeral Home Negligence case

Managing Partner Samer Habbas obtained a $228,000.00 settlement for a daughter traumatized by the funeral service she attended in which her father’s body abruptly broke through the bottom of the casket onto the ground. Some attendees ran in horror, others stood in shock while the beloved family member remained on the ground covered with debris. The tragic circumstances caught the attention of national news outlets such as the NY Daily News. Mr. Habbas promptly filed a lawsuit against the casket manufacturer, the mortuary and another death care service provider, successfully and aggressively settling with one defendant while continuing to develop the record and obtain discovery from the other remaining defendants. Ultimately, Mr. Habbas was able to negotiate and secure a $228,000 settlement for our client.”
