Christopher L. Musmanno, Esq., Chair of the Personal Injury Department and Certified Civil Trial Attorney with the law firm of Einhorn, Barbarito, Frost & Botwinick, PC, Denville, NJ, announces a $245,000 settlement for a rear end collision. On Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at approximately 6:30 p.m., the plaintiff was stopped on Route 24 East, near its intersection with Route 78 in traffic, when he was struck in the rear by a vehicle that did not possess any insurance. As such, an uninsured motorist claim was made against his own insurance company. As a result of the accident, the plaintiff sustained a herniated disc at L5-S1 and L4-5. After conservative treatment failed to relieve his pain, as well as 6 epidural injections, he underwent posterior lumbar diskectomy and fusion at two levels, L4-5 and L5-S1. The insurance company paid to settle the case for $245,000.00 which was essentially the maximum amount of insurance that the plaintiff was capable of recovering in his case.
