Yesterday, our partner Christopher Donadio and his client Jose Marrero were featured on The Rush Hour on NY1 and interviewed by Annika Pergament. The segment highlighted the urgent need for the Grieving Families Act (GFA) and the devastating personal impact of New York’s outdated wrongful death laws. Jose Marrero shared his tragic story of losing his wife during a routine procedure at Maimonides Medical Center, underscoring the emotional toll on families who are left without fair recourse under current legislation.

Recently, he was featured in an article titled “Ben Rubinowitz and the Art of Argument” by Claude Solnik, which explores his unparalleled skill in simplifying complex cases and achieving justice for his clients.

Rubinowitz’s career is defined by record-breaking verdicts and a dedication to ensuring his clients receive not only compensation but systemic change when needed. Among his most notable cases is “Lee v. Westchester Medical Center”, where a misdiagnosed stroke led to a $120 million verdict. His argument boiled down to three impactful words: “Time is brain.” Rubinowitz emphasized how delays in treatment caused irreversible brain damage, leveraging his ability to focus jurors’ attention on the hospital’s negligence.
