A high-profile personal injury attorney has found himself in unfamiliar territory: on the defense end of a civil lawsuit, and one that recently came to a multimillion-dollar award for the plaintiff.
In November, a woman who broke her foot trying to flee from a potential dog attack won a more than $3.1 million verdict against Dean Weitzman and his wife, Meiyang Zhang. Weitzman is the managing partner of Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman, a firm whose advertising as “MyPhillyLawyer” is ubiquitous throughout the city.
