About John

John Bonina, Jr. grew up knowing that he wanted to make a difference. Through his talent in the courtroom and his tireless preparation he has used the law to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of clients by fighting for them when they otherwise would not have had a voice.

Shortly after he was admitted to practice law, John tried his first case, in which the jury held the New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation liable for medical negligence, and awarded his clients $1.35 million in damages. At the age of 25, John had become perhaps the youngest lawyer in American history to win a million dollar verdict.

Since then, John Bonina has developed a proven track record in the courtroom. Perhaps his greatest asset as a trial lawyer is his versatility in the courtroom. In addition to the numerous medical malpractice cases which he tries on a yearly basis, John has successfully tried cases involving construction accidents, trip and fall accidents, and even property damage claims.

Since the million dollar verdict in his first case, John has continued to bring back excellent results from the courtroom. Other significant verdicts include a $4,646,000.00 verdict for the wrongful death of a woman due to delayed diagnosis of lung cancer; a $2,500,000.00 verdict for the family of a woman who bled to death while waiting for emergency surgery on a ruptured aneurysm; a $1,646,000.00 verdict for the family of a man who died as the result of delayed diagnosis of lung cancer; a $1,250,000.00 verdict for failure to diagnose appendicitis; and a $1,000,000.00 for an improper diagnosis of Tuberculosis. While John’s specialties are birth injury and delayed diagnosis of cancer cases, juries have also returned verdicts in favor of John's clients in cases involving improperly performed hysterectomies, drug allergies, improperly performed colonoscopies, and dental malpractice.

The combination of empathy for victims of negligence and courtroom skill has earned John the respect of his peers. Their positive evaluations earned him a place in the 2007 edition of “The Best Lawyers in America”, which was excerpted in New York Magazine’s July 3, 2006 edition listing “the Best Lawyers in the New York Area ”.
