Kenneth Berkowitz Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Chatham
Kenneth Berkowitz is Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.. Since joining Blume Goldfaden more than 20 years ago, Ken Berkowitz has handled dozens of million-dollar settlements and jury verdicts, and has appeared on ABC’s 20/20 news program.. His trial expertise is evident in the significant verdicts he has obtained for clients injured as a result of diverse types of cases, including medical malpractice and product liability, including automobile defects, bicycle safety, and hot water heaters. Some of his cases were also fought in the appeals process that often follows a jury verdict.. In 2003, Mr. Berkowitz forged a record $25 million settlement for a New York family man who was permanently paralyzed from the waist down at a Caribbean resort hotel. Our research indicates that this is the largest recovery for a personal injury claim in New Jersey State Court history.. In 2009, Ken settled a personal injury case for $11 million (confidential settlement).. Utilizing mediation, rather than the lengthy litigation process, Mr. Berkowitz obtained a $2.75 Million recovery on behalf of the family of the limousine driver shot and killed by ex New Jersey Nets basketball star, Jason Williams. By entering into mediation with the attorneys representing Mr. Williams, Mr. Berkowitz was able to bring the civil suit to a swift conclusion - sparing the family of the victim the emotional and financial expense of litigation.. Among the numerous Product Liability and Medical Malpractice recoveries Mr. Berkowitz has obtained are:. A settlement with a present value of 2.75 million dollars on behalf of an infant with spastic quadriparesis following a hypoxic ischemic brain injury at the time of her birth. The infant’s mother was admitted to a local hospital with irregular contractions and spontaneous rupture of membranes for a vaginal birth after C-Section (VBAC). After approximately 15+ hours of labor, the obstetrician decided to perform a repeat C-Section because of a lack of progress in the labor. The Plaintiffs did not claim that the trial of VBAC labor was contraindicated. Rather, the plaintiffs contended that the fetal monitoring strips were indicative of fetal distress, requiring the earlier performance of an emergency C-Section. The infant mother’s uterus ruptured along the previous C-Section incision and the infant’s body extruded outside the uterus. The child was immediately transferred to another area hospital with diagnoses of asphyxia, anoxic seizure disorder and respiratory failure. The claim had been previously rejected by other plaintiffs’ counsel.. After graduating from Union College in New York (B.A. 1971) and the Boston University School of Law (J.D. 1975), Ken Berkowitz clerked for Judge Arnold Stein and then joined a commercial litigation firm in Newark.. Mr. Berkowitz has also handled a number of other significant defective products and medical malpractice cases. He has been an Adjunct Professor of Law at Rutgers, teaching trial presentation.
