Pedestrian Knockdown Settles for $585,000 in New York County

Plaintiff was leaning on her mother's car, which was parked along the curb of East 66th Street at its intersection with First Avenue in New York City when the vehicle suddenly went into reverse. Plaintiff, a sales representative, was knocked to the ground and dragged approximately 10 feet between the curb and the car, causing Plaintiff to sustain a large right-sided herniated disc at C5-6 requiring an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Subsequently, Plaintiff sued her mother for the injuries she sustained. During a mediation, Ronald Ingber successfully obtained a $585,000 settlement for the Plaintiff.
