$2.3 Million Settlement: Distracted Driver Hits Pedestrian In Intersection

After getting the call about their Dad being in a coma after being hit by a car, they did not know where to turn.  A good friend told them to call Finkelstein & Partners.  Having made the call to our office, we immediately investigated the scene where the crash happened.  We learned that Route 45 and New Hempstead in Rockland County was adequately lit with no road design defects.  The driver of the car who struck the pedestrian must have been distracted.  The police report confirmed a distracted driver was the cause of the crash.  We immediately sued the driver.  Prior to depositions, the insurance company agreed to offer the full amount of all available insurance coverage.  The case was handled by Managing Partner Andrew Finkelstein, Partner Elyssa Fried-DeRosa and Trial Partner Michael Feldman.
