We are honored to announce that van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin, and Lindheim has been recognized by Top Verdict for securing one of the highest wrongful death settlements in the United States in 2023. This $11 million victory in Estate of Bility v. Borough of Sharon Hill reflects our firm’s commitment to justice and dedication to representing victims of governmental misconduct and negligence.
Attorneys Michael van der Veen and Bruce Castor of van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin, and Lindheim represented the family of an innocent child killed in a tragic incident involving excessive police force. The lawsuit highlighted serious violations, including assault and battery, civil rights violations, government negligence, and police misconduct. The case brought attention to the critical issues of excessive force, failure to supervise, and lack of proper training within law enforcement.
This settlement is not only a testament to our legal team’s tireless work but also a powerful reminder of the responsibility that government entities and their officers bear in protecting, not endangering, the communities they serve. We extend our gratitude to Top Verdict for this recognition and remain dedicated to advocating for justice in wrongful death cases and other matters involving significant harm and misconduct.
