$577,000 for Truck Accident Injuries
A trucking company paid $577,000 on May 10 to a Marlton man for injuries allegedly suffered in an automobile collision. On March 20, 2001, Brian Baldwin, driving a pickup truck on Crescent Road in Voorhees, was broadsided by a dump truck that went through a red light on Route 73. Later that day, Baldwin went to the emergency room of Virtua West Jersey Hospital complaining of neck and shoulder pain. He was X-rayed and sent home with a pain killer and muscle relaxant, but his regular doctor later diagnosed herniated neck discs.
After two years of manipulation, physical therapy, and epidural injections, his discs at C-5-C6 and C6-C7 were fused and a metal plate and screws were inserted. Baldwin still has some pain and limited neck motion. The dump truck was owned by Bogey's Trucking of Brooklawn and driven by its employee.
