$500,000 for Pedestrian Hit By a Car, Injuries
Sophia Cramer of Union received a $500,000 settlement on March 13 for injuries that she sustained when a car hit her as she walked across a street. She was struck by Carl Laggren Jr. while crossing Morris Avenue in Union on October 8, 2002. An eye witness, James LaCorte, said that she was visible and Laggren made no attempt to stop or slow down.
Cramer endured five surgeries for fractures in her right foot and leg, femur, and pubic bone. After these operations, Cramer now has one leg shorter than the other which disables her from walking correctly.
