$3M for Auto Accident, Back Injuries
A Burlington County jury awarded $2.5 million on Jan 28 to a woman for back injuries aggravated in a car accident and $500,000 to her husband. Tracy Johnson was driving on Route 130 in Bordentown on Nov 2001 when Benedict Scacetti of Bordentown ran a red light and struck her car, which hit a median strip, rotated in the air and landed on its tires.
Evidence was presented that the accident aggravated herniation and slipped vertebrae conditions in Johnson's cervix and back. Now 42, she is in constant pain, works reduced hours as a beautician and cannot engage in activities such as hiking as she did previously.
