Paul M. Egan, Associate

Mr. Egan concentrates his practice in plaintiff’s personal injury, workers’ compensation and ERISA litigation in the area of subrogation recoveries of benefits paid for members and their dependents. With his vast knowledge of state and federal law governing subrogation, he is able to maximize his clients’ recoveries pursuant to the doctrine of equitable liens.

He also is experienced as a trial attorney for criminal, real estate, traffic and domestic relations matters. As a trial attorney with Arnold and Kadjan, Mr. Egan has tried numerous successful jury trials and obtained successful settlements that have resulted in millions of dollars for the firm’s clients. He successfully obtained a nearly $3.5 million jury verdict for an injured union laborer hurt on the job through the negligence of the general contractor. He also obtained a $3 million settlement for the wrongful electrocution death of a laborer.

Prior to joining the firm in 2001, Mr. Egan was employed as a trial attorney for a large insurance defense firm where he tried more than 50 jury trials to verdict. He handled all aspects of litigation, including depositions, arbitrations, mediations and bench and jury trial.
