The defendants also argued that the plaintiff’s disc herniations were not caused by the trauma from the accident but from the degenerative process. They also argued that the plaintiff did not sustain a permanent injury as required by the AICRA statute. The jury found the defendant 100% liable, they found that the plaintiff sustained a permanent injury within the meaning of the AICRA statute and that the injury was causally related to the accident. After about an hour long deliberation the Bergen County jury awarded the plaintiff $180,000.00. The pre-trial settlement offer was $0, as the defendant maintained that the plaintiff did not have permanent injuries.

The names of the Defendants have not been released due to confidentiality restrictions included in the settlement.
The fire was alleged to have started near a thirty-year old space heater used to heat the apartment being rented by the family. At the time of the fire, the sisters were six and eight years old. The youngest sister suffered significant burns requiring numerous surgeries. The burns caused permanent scarring to her face and body, limited her ability to obtain meaningful employment, and pose a variety of future health risks. The sisters also lost their mother and brother in the fire. The sisters, now adults, were forced to live with relatives or in foster homes for the majority of their childhood. Our law firm (with Partner Samuel Davis Esq. as the lead counsel) and the New York firm of Rheingold, Valet, Rheingold, Shkolnik & McCartney represented the sisters.
