Secaucus Motorcyclist Gets 1.4M In Crash Lawsuit Settlement

Introduction

A motorcyclist from Secaucus has received $1.4 million in a lawsuit filed after a 2018 crash in Bergen County where the driver of the SUV struck him.

As per the lawsuit, on September 2, 2018, the plaintiff was going north on Summit Avenue riding a 2019 Ducati motorcycle, and the defendant was driving west on Franklin Avenue in a 2015 Mercedes Benz SUV when the crash happened.
