A New Jersey man suffered severe injuries when he was struck by a police cruiser while on a morning jog as officers were responding to an emergency call with their lights and sirens activated. Due to heavy traffic, the police vehicle briefly entered the northbound lane to bypass backed-up traffic when the jogger crossed the street outside of a crosswalk. Despite the officer’s attempt to brake, the vehicle struck the jogger, causing significant injuries. The attorneys at Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., an experienced and skilled New Jersey personal injury law firm, worked diligently on his behalf and ultimately recovered $3 million for the client’s losses and damages resulting from the accident.
Emergency medical responders arrived at the scene and transported the injured man to a local hospital, where he received treatment for multiple traumatic injuries. He sustained a fractured left leg that required surgery, a deep wound to his right leg needing stitches, extensive road rash, and severe shoulder and chest pain. Due to the severity of the accident and his injuries, his recovery involved extensive rehabilitation and ongoing medical care.
The impact of the accident went far beyond just physical injuries. Before the crash, the client had been employed for many years and had an active lifestyle. However, following the accident, he faced long-term physical limitations and pain that stopped him from performing at his job and doing normal daily tasks as he once did. Due to the life-changing injuries, Partners Garry R. Salomon, Esq., and Adam B. Lederman, Esq., launched a thorough and detailed investigation into the case to recover compensation for his losses and damages.
Their legal team hired highly qualified accident reconstruction experts to analyze the scene and determine fault, as well as vocational and economic experts to calculate the full scope of the client’s financial losses. The vocational expert proved that the client’s value of his future economic losses exceeded a million dollars, taking into account his lost income, reduced earning capacity, and future medical expenses related to rehabilitation and recovery.
Through meticulous preparation, expert testimony, and determined advocacy, the attorneys at Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. successfully secured a $3 million settlement for their client. This compensation will help cover medical expenses, future care, and the financial challenges caused by the accident.
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.
