$100,000 New York Car Accident Settlement for Man's Personal Injuries
A Stapleton, New York man who was injured in a 2005 car accident has settled his personal injury lawsuit for $100,000 with the man who hit him. 43-year-old William Johnson suffered severe right knee injuries requiring hospitalization and arthroscopic surgery when his car was struck by a vehicle which rolled through a stop sign.
A Staten Island Advance story said that Johnson was driving to Port Richmond on February 3, 2005 when the car driven by defendant Alexander J. Adelman rolled through the stop sign and hit Johnson’s vehicle in an intersection. Johnson later sued Adelman in the state Supreme Court in St. George. Johnson’s New York personal injury attorney Michael Bush said that Adelman’s insurance carrier paid his client the policy limit.
