Family injured in head on car crash results in one child’s spinal injury and permanent leg paralysis. Jury verdict $17 million
A New Jersey family injured in a head-on car crash went to trial for their injuries after being involved in a head on car crash. The family received a verdict of more than $17 million by an Ocean County jury after the a civil trial. According to the
AP, the Plaintiff/mother was driving to a car dealership with her husband and their three young children in August 2006 when another car crossed over the center line on Route 9 in Tuckerton and struck them head on.
All three children were hurt. One of the children suffered a spinal injury that left her with permanent leg paralysis. The other driver, had just left work and was on his way home. The defendant was not criminally charged. New Jersey car crash and dog bite lawyer Doug Landau reminds readers that this is yet another example of where the innocent injured victims can find legal redress through civil litigation, even where there no criminal charges were filed and no criminal or traffic court trial was held.

Here is a case where the lawyer is going to get a pretty hefty award as well. We need more no-fault insurance and fewer lawyers who are greedy. Come to think about it, is there a lawyer who is not greedy? There needs to be limits on compensation paid to lawyers, but they pay politicians a lot of money at election time to keep their own pockets full of cash.
My heart does go out to the family of the children. My son was in an accident where he was a passenger, and was critically injured. He was not expected to live, but did. Unfortunately, he passed at age 38 two years ago yesterday from a blood clot, twenty years after his car accident.
