New Jersey Jury Awards $6.5M For An Injured Man

Introduction

A $6.5 million settlement was given by a New Jersey jury to a 47-year-old man who was engaged in a catastrophic car accident when the at-fault motorist carelessly hit his vehicle in the rear, causing him to suffer many injuries.

The guy, like many other victims of head-on crashes, had serious spine injury, necessitating round-the-clock care. The plaintiff's experienced automobile accident lawyer claimed that the force of the incident caused damage to his kidneys and a thoracic herniation that impinged on the spinal cord.

Throughout the discovery phase of the case, the attorneys submitted proof showing the plaintiff's injuries were significant and life-changing. The business also called in an expert neurologist, who testified that the man's multiple sclerosis had deteriorated as a result of the ruptured disc he suffered in the accident.

The counsel demonstrated not just that the plaintiff suffered serious injuries in the accident, but that those injuries had a significant impact on the victim's quality of life. The jury returned a decision in the plaintiff's favour, paying him $6.5 million in compensatory damages.
