Thomas J. Principe

KDLM Senior Partner

Tom Principe is a Partner at Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore (KDLM) in New York. Tom Principe’s background is as a defense attorney. In that capacity he squared off more than once against fellow partner Tom Moore – who recruited him to become a KDLM partner in April 1989. Today, his experience and perspective serve KDLM’s clients well as he conducts examinations before trial. Those depositions and discovery illuminate the defense’s claims and likely strategy. He is painstakingly thorough in his approach, sifting through and examining medical records and transcriptions for information to aid in client defense.

Matthew Gaier

KDLM Senior Partner

Gaier argued Applewhite v. Accuhealth, Inc. in the Court of Appeals (New York State’s highest court), which held that the plaintiffs were entitled to establish at trial that the New York City Fire Department EMTs owed a special duty to a 12-year-old girl who was having an anaphylactic reaction and in respiratory distress. Tom Moore tried the case and a jury found that a special duty was owed, that the City was negligent, and that the plaintiffs were entitled to $172 million in damages.
