Toscano Wins $10 Million Verdict in Case of Teacher Abby Zwerner
Today, a jury in Newport News awarded our client, former Richneck Elementary School teacher Abigail Zwerner, a $10 million verdict after a two-week trial.
The original lawsuit was announced on NBC's TODAY Show in an interview conducted by co-host Savannah Guthrie. Lead attorney Diane Toscano appeared alongside co-counsel on the case, Jeff Breit of law firm Breit Biniazan.
Said Toscano, “The Newport News school division had a duty to Abby. But they failed her miserably that day. As a result of their inaction, Abby was shot by a six-year-old student, and she will never be the same. She has endured four surgeries and still has a bullet lodged inside her. In addition to holding the school division accountable for its failures, this lawsuit is a means to deliver justice for Abby in this tragic but entirely preventable situation.”
