As Chair of Einhorn Barbarito’s Accidents/Personal Injury Practice, Christopher L. Musmanno represents clients in any type of personal injury matter, from emotional traumas and product liabilities to automobile accidents and workplace injuries. He also represents both plaintiffs and defendants in workers’ compensation, medical malpractice, employment discrimination, and insurance fraud cases.
While many attorneys in this field focus strictly on the facts of the case, Chris deliberately takes a more personal approach. He takes as much time as needed to advise clients about their cases and assist them in getting proper medical care. His goal is to obtain the highest possible award while making the litigation process as painless and seamless as possible. Clients can depend on Chris to provide what he deems the most important element of an attorney/client relationship – open and constant communication. He knows that most people in these situations are under unprecedented stress, facing mounting medical bills, and often suffering severe accident-related pain that sometimes makes it difficult for them to fully participate in or contribute to the necessary legal process.
His years of trial experience before a variety of courts benefits clients, particularly with discovering important evidence and securing expert witnesses. Chris will pursue compensation and justice for his clients through negotiations, settlements, and trials when necessary, protecting clients from potential challenges from insurance companies.
