On May 23, 2023, SPBMCC Member John Nash successfully secured a $1.4 million settlement for a 65-year-old woman who was struck by a car.

65-Year-Old Woman Suffers Severe Injuries

In January 2023, a retired woman was out for an exercise walk when she was struck by a car while crossing an intersection in Manhasset.  Despite crossing in a marked crosswalk with the signal in her favor, the driver of the car did not see her and proceeded to hit her. She suffered multiple fractures to her right arm and left shoulder and underwent two operations to correct the fractures.  She also suffered fractures to her sternum and part of her spine that healed on their own.

Following the serious and life-changing injuries suffered by the plaintiff, she sought counsel through SPBMCC. Firm member John F. Nash obtained a $1.4 million settlement just before jury selection on the eve of trial to compensate for the prolonged home and office physical therapy that followed her injuries.
