Case Details
Settlement on behalf of the family of a motorcyclist who died from his injuries. The deceased, Nestor Pagan was operating his motorcycle on Paterson Plank Road in North Bergen, New Jersey when he struck the rear of an automobile. The driver of the automobile told the police he was backing into a parking spot when Nestor Pagan struck him. Our firm recovered a business security video tape which showed that the automobile driver had lied to the police and had actually made an illegal U-turn in front of the Pagan motorcycle.
Additional Notes
The results of this settlement were published as the lead article in the New Jersey Law Journal not only because of the amount of the recovery but also for the unique facts. Armed with the video tape, Jonas was able to recover $25,000 from the driver’s policy and because the driver was on-the-job at the time of the accident for his employer, in addition a $2,000,000 recovery was obtained from the employer’s policy.
