Founding Partner at Powers & Santola, LLP

Dan has spent more than 30 years teaching various topics within the field of personal injury law, covering subjects such as construction accidents, medical malpractice, trial tactics, evidence, and product liability. He has lectured for the Office of Court Administration in its Continuing Legal Education programs for judges and court attorneys, the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers, the New York Trial Lawyers Association, the New York State Bar Association, the Albany County Bar Association, the American Board of Trial Advocates, the Capital District Trial Lawyers Association, Albany Law School, Albany Medical Center, Syracuse University Law School, and a number of other scholastic and professional institutions. He was among the first trial lawyers to employ the use of technology in presenting personal injury cases to a jury, including video animation and computer graphics to demonstrate causes of accidents, SPECT scans to document and display brain injuries, and “Day in the Life” films to bring into the courtroom the everyday consequences of a permanent injury. Dan has been at the forefront in the use of highly specialized experts such as placental pathologists, pediatric neuroradiologists, and neonatologists to illustrate negligence in obstetrical malpractice cases; human factors engineers and biomechanics to demonstrate defective product designs; and physiatrists, vocational rehabilitation specialists, and economists to calculate and illustrate the full extent of economic and non-economic losses caused by a catastrophic injury.
