Jeffrey Weiskopf's $2M Slip-and-Fall Verdict Nominated for TopVerdict's Top New York Injury Attorneys' Results for 2025

NEW YORK, NY - The Law Office of Jeffrey Weiskopf, P.C. with primary offices in Westchester County NY announced today that founding attorney Jeffrey Weiskopf's $2,021,000 jury verdict has been nominated for inclusion on TopVerdict.com's Top 100 Verdicts in New York for 2025.

Based on preliminary data, the verdict is expected to be included on the final list when it is published later in May of this year. The landmark result was secured on behalf of a 64-year-old hotel guest who suffered severe injuries after slipping on a wet marble floor in a communal bathroom at The Jane Hotel in Manhattan.

TopVerdict is a nationally recognized legal publication that tracks and ranks the largest plaintiff jury verdicts across all 50 states. Its annual Top 100 lists are widely regarded as a benchmark for trial excellence in the legal industry. A nomination for inclusion reflects the significance of the verdict and the caliber of advocacy required to achieve it.

Case Background

According to trial testimony, the plaintiff was using a communal bathroom at The Jane Hotel when he slipped on the wet marble floor outside the shower, suffering multiple pelvic fractures and spinal disc herniations. Weiskopf presented evidence showing that The Jane Hotel knew, or should have known, that the marble tiles in the communal bathroom lacked proper drainage and did not meet industry standards for slip resistance.

The plaintiff's wife also prevailed on a derivative claim for the impact the injuries had on their marriage and daily life together. After a multi-day trial, the jury deliberated for just over two hours before finding The Jane Hotel negligent in failing to maintain a reasonably safe bathroom floor. The $2,021,000 verdict included compensation for pain and suffering, lost earnings, and other damages.

"Every property owner has a fundamental obligation to keep their premises safe - and when they cut corners, real people pay the price," said Jeffrey Weiskopf. "Being nominated for TopVerdict's Top 100 list is an honor, but what matters most is that the jury validated what our client endured and held this hotel accountable. This verdict should put property owners on notice that no design choice is worth a guest's safety."

A Benchmark for Premises Liability Litigation

Slip-and-fall cases are among the most aggressively defended categories of personal injury litigation, with defendants frequently disputing causation, severity of injuries, and the property owner's duty of care. Securing a verdict of this magnitude in a premises liability matter underscores both the strength of the evidence presented at trial and the effectiveness of Weiskopf's courtroom advocacy.

TopVerdict's 2025 rankings are compiled from jury verdicts obtained in New York state and federal courts. The final list is expected to be published on TopVerdict's website later this year, and preliminary indications suggest that Weiskopf's $2,021,000 verdict will earn a place among the top results.
