Case Details
Our client’s husband was operating a motorcycle when he approached the entrance of a shopping center where a car suddenly made a left turn in front him leaving him no time to avoid contact with the car. Unfortunately, the impact was so severe he was unable to survive despite all emergency medical and hospital care provided to save him.
Additional Notes
The car was significantly underinsured without enough insurance to cover the tremendous economic loss suffered by the decedent’s family who was left surviving without any benefits. Our thorough investigation early on revealed that a traffic study performed by the traffic engineer hired by the shopping center owner requested permission from the municipality to put in a left turn signal in order to control traffic at the entrance from the main road years earlier. The municipality denied permission indicating that it was not necessary. Traffic increased over the years and the turning lane was lengthened, but there was no modification to the traffic signal itself. Mr. Perlman and Mr. Rosen vigorously and relentlessly fought for years on behalf of the family in order to show and prove that the municipality was negligent in its ownership, maintenance and management of this very busy intersection, which was a significant factor giving rise to the accident.
