Auto Accidents

A female drunk driver crashed into plaintiff’s vehicle causing multiple fractures to the right ankle and foot. Plaintiff suffered a comminuted and crushed type fracture to the right tibia, fracture to the right talus and crush fracture to the right calcaneus. Large fracture blisters developed the next day and plaintiff was unable to have surgery for several months after accident. The fractured bones healed with misalignment. Plaintiff’s doctor testified that plaintiff would be under pain management protocol for the rest of his life due to this condition. Plaintiffs only other option was to have a complicated fusion procedure which would result in a club foot. The chance of success of the surgery would be 50/50 and there were substantial risks involved. Plaintiff testified that the drug management caused him insomnia, constipation and a severely negative impact on his relationships. Levinson Axelrod attorneys successfully tried this case in Superior Court of Ocean County.

A 35-year-old laborer who resides in Kearny was seriously injured while working on the median of a highway when a passing tractor-trailer lost a wheel that struck him. Evidence at trial established that after a recent tire change, the lug nuts were not properly secured by both the owner and the independent contractor who had installed the tire. Our client suffered severe head and orthopedic injuries and is now totally disabled as a result of the accident. The case was tried before a Hudson County jury.
