Monmouth County, NJ
This motor vehicle death action occurred when the host driver and non-
host driver were proceeding in the same direction on a portion of
the GSP containing five undivided lanes. The plaintiff maintained
that the host driver, who had a BAC of .10% and who pled guilty
to DWI, negligently failed to make proper observations before
changing from the second lane from the left to the middle lane
and that the defendant non-host driver negligently reacted to a
speeding phantom driver who was approaching from behind, moving
to the lane to the left of him without making proper
observations, resulting in the collision occurring in the middle
lane. The defendant non-host driver denied that this description
of the accident was accurate and contended that the inebriated
host driver struck him in the rear in the lane to the right of
the center lane. This partys accident reconstruction expert
supported this position.
The plaintiff countered that the plaintiffs accident
reconstruction expert, the hosts accident reconstruction expert,
and the accident reconstruction from the State Police, who
investigated the fatal accident, had found that the accident
occurred in the center lane, citing the debris, marks in the road
and the nature of damage to the respective vehicles. The decedent
had $________ in UM protection and the plaintiff also made a claim
against the UM carrier, contending that the phantom vehicles
approach from behind at a high rate of speed contributed to the
accident.
There was no evidence of conscious pain and suffering. The
decedent was survived by 2 minor children and was working as a health care
aide. The plaintiffs economist projected $________ in economic
loss, including lost income, loss of household services, advice
and guidance.
The case settled prior trial for $________, which represented the
full amount available from the policies. A second passenger in
the host vehicle was also a plaintiff who suffered a rotator cuff
tear. This aspect settled for $________.
