While crossing the intersection of East Palisade Avenue and Brayton Street in Englewood, New Jersey, a 72-year-old pedestrian was injured after being hit by a car. Davis, Saperstien & Salomon, P.C. Partner Samuel L. Davis filed suit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, proving that the driver was negligent in safely driving his vehicle and yielding to pedestrians, and won the client a $252,500 settlement.
The injured man was diagnosed with lacerations and nondisplaced fractures in his left leg, knee, and ribs, and was taken to Englewood Hospital in Englewood, New Jersey. He underwent treatment for his lacerations as well as non-surgical treatment for his fractures. Our client also completed several courses of physical therapy to improve his pain and condition. Davis, Saperstein & Salomon won our client a settlement for his injuries, pain & 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.
