$375,000 Settlement for Car Accident - Back Injuries

$375,000 awarded at mediation to a 40-year-old man injured in a 2004 accident when his parked car was struck by a truck in New York County. The plaintiff incurred devastating back injuries, requiring several surgeries and has been left with severe limitations including gross urinary and fecal incontinence, erectile dysfunction and massive depression. He will likely need further medical procedures. The plaintiff had a felony record and had a history of prior back problems that predated the accident and led to a pre-accident award of Social Security Disability, both of which limited the value of the case.
