Queens Crash Case Study: $41.5 Million Verdict for the Wrongful Death of a New York City Sanitation Worker

In a tragic accident that occurred in 2014, 43-year-old Steven Frosh, a dedicated New York City sanitation worker, lost his life while performing his duties at a city garage in Maspeth, Queens. Mr. Frosh, who had served the city for 18 years, including four years as a police officer, was preparing to retire and pursue a new career as a financial planner. On the day of the accident, he was making adjustments to his street sweeper truck when he was struck and fatally injured by another street sweeper. The impact of the collision left Mr. Frosh in excruciating pain for two to three minutes before he tragically succumbed to his injuries.

The accident occurred when a fellow sanitation worker, Antonio G. DeCaro, negligently took his foot off the brake of his street sweeper without putting the vehicle in park, causing it to roll forward and crash into Mr. Frosh. This moment of negligence resulted in a devastating loss for Mr. Frosh’s family, including his wife, Bina Frosch, and their four young children, who were left to cope with the sudden and senseless death of their beloved husband and father.

On behalf of Bina Frosch, seeking justice for her husband’s wrongful death, our Queens Crash Lawyers filed a lawsuit against the City of New York, alleging negligence and carelessness on the part of the worker driving the sweeper truck. The case was tried in Queens Supreme Court before Hon. Joseph Esposito, with Ben Rubinowitz and Peter Saghir of our personal injury law firm representing Mrs. Frosch.

During the trial, Ben Rubinowitz, one of the top trial attorneys in the country, highlighted the profound loss suffered by the Frosh family and the gross negligence that led to Steven Frosh’s untimely death. Mr. Rubinowitz stated, “Steven Frosch was one of the best New York City had to offer. He was a dedicated sanitation employee but even more a great husband and father who can never be replaced.” The jury, comprised of four men and two women, was moved by the evidence and the emotional testimony presented.

• $1.5 million for Steven Frosh’s conscious pain and suffering,
• $15 million for past losses of parental care, guidance, and financial support, and
• $25 million for future lost guidance and financial support.

This Verdict is One of the Largest Motor Vehicle Accident Awards in Queens County and Stands as a Testament to the Exceptional Legal Advocacy Provided by Our Firm.

This case exemplifies the unwavering commitment of our New York personal injury attorneys to securing justice for victims and their families. Ben Rubinowitz and Peter Saghir’s dedication to holding the negligent parties accountable resulted in a historic $41.5 million verdict, providing the Frosh family with the financial support they need to move forward after their profound loss.

Following the verdict, the Frosh family released a statement expressing their gratitude: “The loss has been unbearable to me and my four children, and it always will be. I am grateful to the jury for recognizing how important Steve was to us.”
