A driver crashed into a tree to avoid being hit by a dump truck in Jackson Township, New Jersey. She was driving northbound on Cassville Road when a dump truck travelling southbound crossed over the double yellow line, struck two other vehicles, and forced the client to swerve off the road and collide into a tree. Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. Partner Samuel L. Davis filed suit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, proved that the dump truck driver was negligent in failing to operate his truck in a controlled and safe manner, winning the client a $450,000 settlement.
The injured woman was taken by ambulance to Barnabas Health Community Medical Center in Toms River, New Jersey. She was diagnosed with lumbar bulging discs, bilateral facet arthropathy, post-concussive syndrome, and tinnitus. To treat her injuries and pain, she underwent multiple trigger point injections, right-sided occipital nerve block, medial nerve branch injections, neurotomy, and a bilateral sacroiliac joint injection. To improve her condition, the client completed courses of physical therapy.
Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C retained medical experts to author narrative reports proving the extent and permanency of the client’s injuries. With the help of the reports, Partner Samuel L. Davis was able to ensure our client was properly compensated for her injuries, pain and suffering.
Settlements are often limited by the total available insurance coverage. Insurance company adjusters and their lawyers often defend cases by claiming that a client was negligent and could have avoided being injured by arguing comparative negligence on the part of an injured client; or that their pain and suffering was caused by pre-existing medical conditions or prior injuries. Despite those defenses, the Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, PC lawyers won their client’s injury claim. Each client’s case is unique. Results may differ because of different facts, circumstances and available insurance coverage.
