Case Details
An Essex County jury awarded $2.4 million to Dyan Ambrogio, a motorist who suffered permanent injuries, including herniations at cervical and lumbar intervertebral discs, after her vehicle was struck from behind at a red light. The verdict included $2 million for her damages and $400,000 for her husband's loss of consortium. The case involved a claim against the negligent driver and an underinsured-motorist policy claim against her own insurer, New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Co.
