$850,000 for Auto Accident, Closed Head
A man who suffers from cognitive problems as a result of auto accident injuries received an $850,000 settlement last Tuesday. Winston Hilton claimed he was driving west on Meadow Road on Sept 24, 2001 when he collided with an oncoming car that made a left turn in his path. The accident occurred in a construction zone where the road was lined with barrels.
The other driver was driving his own vehicle but was an employee of DMJM Harris of New York, which was overseeing the road project. Hilton suffered a closed-head injury that led to a loss of concentration and other cognitive problems, and lost most of his work as a selfemployed accountant.
