Congratulations to Jesse Squier following a small claims hearing in Queens Civil Court on February 26, 2026.
The matter involved a property damage claim arising from an alleged hit-and-run accident. The claimant sought $5,290.47, and the defense position was that the insured vehicle was not involved in the accident, supported by an affidavit of non-involvement and photographic and video evidence showing no damage to the insured vehicle.
Photographs taken shortly after the alleged incident showed no damage to the insured vehicle, and additional video evidence taken days later continued to show no damage, undermining the claimant’s theory of impact.
The court issued a decision in favor of the defendant, dismissing the claim in its entirety.
This result reflects Jesse’s strong use of documentary evidence.
