The firm boasts of a specific focus on Personal Injury Litigation and Medical Malpractice class-action lawsuits. With its reputation of winning cases of discrimination, injustice, harassment and unfair compensation, Morelli Law has represented a number of individual plaintiffs against massive international corporations.
In the wake of a deadly road accident in New Jersey in the month of June 2014, Benedict Morelli advocated for comedian and Hollywood star, Tracy Morgan and a few of his associates.
The Case
In June of 2014, Tracy Morgan and his crew’s limousine was hit from the back by a speeding Wal-Mart truck in New Jersey. This freak accident resulted in the death of Morgan’s fellow comedian, James McNair and injured Morgan himself, along with his assistant and a few others. The accused, one Kevin Roper was driving 20mph above the regulation speed limit when he crashed into the back of plaintiff, Tracy Morgan’s car.
According to Mr. Morelli’s exhaustive investigation, it was found that Mr. Roper drove 750 miles to get to work and was awake for over 25 hours at the time of the accident. The legal limit of which is 14 hours. Morelli Law advocated that Wal-Mart would or should have knowledge about the driver’s state. Wal-Mart conducted its own investigation and claimed that Kevin Roper was well within the lawful limit and was fully aware and conscious when the accident happened, thus indicating that it was a case of classic driver negligence and nothing more.
The Verdict
Benedict Morelli, who personally advocated for Mr. Morgan settled the case out of court spectacularly within only 10 months. Though the contents of the agreement were officially kept confidential, speaking on The Breakfast Club radio show, Damon Wayans speculatively mentioned the case was settled with a staggering amount of $90 million dollars payable to Tracy Morgan. Benedict Morelli also represented Jeffrey Millea and Ardie Fuqua against Wal-Mart. Although this seems controversial due to the lack of authenticity of these claims, Morelli Law can still boast of closing a class-action lawsuit within a mere 10 months where most companies would take several years to fight a massive corporation like Wal-Mart.
