$650,000 Settlement for Car Accident Caused by Drunk Driver

$650,000 settlement during jury selection for a 54-year-old woman injured in a Suffolk County residential neighborhood, when a drunk 20-year-old woman ran a stop sign and sent the plaintiff’s vehicle onto a residential lawn at 25 mph. The young defendant was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, and pled guilty. The impact resulted in the plaintiff aggravating an 8-year-old cervical injury, to wit: C2-3 disc protrusion, cervical stenosis at C5-6-7 with cord compression; and C5-6 radiculopathy. Following therapy and injections, the plaintiff underwent a posterior cervical fusion with local bone graft, and a posterior laminectomy at C-5, C-6 and C-7.
