In a legal malpractice lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York, Marcella Watson, acting pro se, accuses attorneys Richard Bongiorno and Andrew J. Camacho, along with The Bongiorno Law Firm, PLLC, of settling her personal injury case without her consent. Watson claims that the settlement amount of $37,500 is grossly inadequate given her severe injuries from a 2013 bus accident in Queens, New York. She alleges that the defendants misrepresented her willingness to settle and failed to act in her best interest. Watson seeks compensatory damages of $3 million and punitive damages of $1 million.
