Notable Victories:

Adam represented a wrongful death claim related to the Market Street building collapse in 2013. The collapse destroyed a Salvation Army thrift store, killing 7 people and injuring 11. The civil case settled for a record $227 million. This is the largest civil settlement in Pennsylvania history. Before the civil case, a criminal trial took place, ending in the conviction of the contractor and excavator in charge of the construction.

“No amount of money can bring any of these victims back,” said Adam after the announcement of the settlement. However, there is a silver lining: The case has drawn public attention to the dangers of negligent construction and construction defects. Additionally, the Salvation Army donated the land where the thrift store once stood. It will be used as a memorial for the victims of the tragedy.
