$500,000 Settlement: Car vs. Rollerblader Collision

$500,000 settlement (policy limits exhausted) awarded to a 38-year-old father of two, who in 2011 was rollerblading on the east bound Long Island Expressway Service Road in Nassau County and collided with a vehicle traveling southbound at the intersection with Round Swamp Road. The parties each claimed to have had the green light in their favor and each had witnesses to support their positions. The victim was rendered unconscious and sustained multiple injuries, including a left grade III open humerus fracture with open reduction internal fixation; a comminuted fracture of the right femoral shaft with open reduction internal fixation; a fracture of the superior and anterior aspects of the right acetabulum; hearing loss caused by nerve damage in the right inner ear; and a left pneumothorax requiring mechanical ventilation and a thoracostomy.
