$1.75M for Postal Van Crash Injury

A Lake Hiawatha woman agreed on May 10 to accept a $1.75M settlement for brain injuries sustained when a postal truck hit her car. Madeline Mercado’s sedan was hit on the driver’s side at the intersection of Route 46, Smith Road, and Littleton Road in Parsippany on January 12, 2002.

The postal truck had run a red light and as a result of the accident, Mercado suffered fractures in her face, eye socket and left arm. Now, she had problems with short-term memory and math skills.
