$300,000 for Auto Injury
A recent article in the New Jersey Law Journal indicates that a Spring Lake Heights woman accepted a $300,000 settlement on June 12 for a neck injury in a two-car accident. Dawn Pizzolato was hurt October 29, 2003 on route 71 in Manasquan when Franklin Leighton turned left onto the road and struck her car on the driver's side. Leighton was found guilty of careless driving.
Pizzolato sued Leighton in Monmouth County over herniated and bulging disks and a shoulder injury. She had surgery to remove bone from her hip for grafting near a metal plate in her neck. Pizzalato now has limited movement of her neck and tingling and numbness in her left arm.
