Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C Pursue Justice in Reality TV and Movie Injuries

Countless preventable tragedies occur on movie and television sets each day and LawyerTime.com attorneys are dedicated to providing injury victims with quality legal representation

New York, New York – October 8, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

According to statistics, approximately one-third of all fatalities that took place on television and movie sets in the past five years have involved a reality show. There were a total of 20 related to television and motion picture productions for the past five years, which is double the number of the five years before.

In an effort to provide adequate representation for those who have family members who pass away, or who suffer an injury while shooting a movie or television show, Gersowitz Libo & Korek offers quality, aggressive representation to help the injured party, or their family, recover the compensation they deserve.

“A perfect example of this type of preventable tragedy happened recently during the shooting of the “Deadpool 2” movie,” stated founding attorney Jeff S. Korek of Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. “Those in charge of the production cut corners when safety should have been a top priority. Paying lip service is simply not acceptable and it is imperative that the industry gets this right. Another example is when the firm represented the family of Carlos Berl, a Colombian civilian and pilot student who was fatally injured during the filming of “American Made.” The firm was part of the lead representation in the wrongful death lawsuit that was filed.”

Unfortunately, accidents involving movie and television sets aren’t new. Helicopter crashes occurred in two of what are considered the worst filming accidents in U.S. history. One occurred in Acton in 2013, which killed three people while shooting a reality show and another in 1982 during the filming of “Twilight Zone: The Movie.”

“It’s pretty remarkable that production companies can use extremely advanced technology to make amazing films, but all too often they don’t spend even modest amounts of resources to ensure workers or actors are not injured or killed while doing their job,” continued Korek. “While television and film related fatalities declined during the 1990s and then dropped to zero in 2003, they have recently begun to go up again, and this is something we simply cannot allow.”
