$8.6 MILLION awarded to 9/11 WTC Victim

Smiley & Smiley, LLP is pleased to report that we obtained an award of $8.6 MILLION, the largest award paid by the fund in all cases, to "Jane Doe#1," the first victim of the World Trade center attacks to be admitted to the hospital and the last to be discharged over 14 months later. Jane Doe suffered horrific injuries when the landing gear of one of the planes came thundering down upon her, crushing her legs and feet and severing her buttocks.

This award came eight months after partner Guy I. Smiley appeared on national television to champion our client's case during a one-hour Dateline NBC feature, to an audience of 13 million viewers, of Jane Doe's heroic course towards recovery. We are extremely proud to have achieved the largest award granted by the fund on behalf of our client.

Jane Doe #1 was represented by Smiley & Smiley, LLP on a no-fee basis.
