Personal Injury Attorney Howard P.
Lesnik at My NJ Injury Lawyer recently secured a
$300,000 settlement on behalf of a
seriously injured client from a traffic accident.
MOUNTAINSIDE, N.J.,
May 7,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Driving to New York City during evening rush hour in
bumper-to-bumper traffic over the George Washington Bridge can be
stressful; getting rammed on a back wheel by a large JB Hunt
tractor trailer merging into your lane, is alarming; having your
vehicle dragged until it comes to a rest after the collision is
terrifying. When this young woman needed to deal with the injuries
incurred as a result of the accident, she called the personal
injury attorney Howard Lesnik, Esq.
of Mountainside NJ.
If the accident itself wasn't bad enough, the driver of the
truck tried to blame the injured client for the collision. Mr.
Lesnik filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court for her
injuries, and the medical costs involved in her recovery. During
the litigation, Mr. Lesnik hired a retired NJ police officer as an
accident reconstruction expert. The expert reconstructed the crash
and was able to demonstrate that the truck did not operate his
large commercial vehicle properly and attempted to merge into
traffic without checking his blind-spots. Additionally, when
Mr. Lesnik took the truck driver's deposition, he admitted that he
did not see his client's car prior to crashing into her vehicle,
and that he was behind my client's car when he attempted to
merge.
As a result of the truck crash, my client suffered severe
injuries to her left shoulder, left knee and back. An MRI of
the left knee revealed a tear of the medial meniscus. An MRI of her
left shoulder showed a rotator cuff tear for the right shoulder.
The MRI of the lumbar spine in her back showed disc herniations and
bulges.
The injuries required his client to undergo arthroscopic surgery
of the knee and arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder. Mr. Lesnik
retained a board-certified orthopedic surgeon as a medical expert
who concluded these injuries were permanent and were caused by the
accident with the JB Hunt tractor trailer. Mr. Lesnik also hired an
illustrator in preparation for trial who created a story board to
visually explain the surgical procedures to the jury.
Prior to trial, the defense attorneys for JB Hunt requested that
this case be mediated by a professional mediator. After mediation,
we were able to settle my client's claim with JB Hunt for
$145,000.00. As a result, my client
avoided the necessity and uncertainty of a trial and was able to be
fully compensated for her injuries caused by a truck driver who
didn't check his mirrors before merging in heavy traffic at the
George Washington Bridge.
