SKETCHES OF COURT: No damages awarded in car accident trial
In this courtroom sketch, Hon. Devin Cohen listens as defendant’s attorney Angela Capri (standing), of the law offices of James G. Bilello & Associates, conducts a direct examination in the motor vehicle accident trial Eames v. Barglowski. Liability for causing the accident was conceded, and the trial proceeded on damages. On the stand is expert witness orthopedic surgeon Dr. Alan Zimmerman.
Frances Eames was 32 years old when she claims she was injured in the March 2012 accident in Brooklyn. Eames was represented by Russell LiBrizzi (standing), trial counsel to the law firm Zlotolow & Associates.
Eames complained of pain in her shoulder, neck and back after the accident. She alleged that months of conservative treatment and physical therapy failed to resolve her issues, and Eames eventually had arthroscopic surgery on her left shoulder to assess a possible rotator cuff injury. No tears were found, but she underwent a debridement procedure.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
