$500,000 for Wrongful Death

At a Perth Amboy intersection, a woman was struck and sustained injuries including broken ribs, a fractured skull and swelling of the brain, which eventually led to her death seven months later.  Until her death, the woman was bedridden, in great pain, and was unable to speak.  She had a tracheotomy because of problems with breathing and vomiting, she also suffered pneumonia, septic shock, urinary tract infections and gastritis that led to several other tests and physical therapy which amounted to a medical tab of $907,524.

The defendant owned a $500,000 liability policy with New Jersey Manufactures Insurance.  Evan M. Harris, Esq. of Aiello, Harris, Abate, Law Group PC agreed to settle for the full policy amount.
