We take a moment to acknowledge the accomplishment of Tom Curcio, whose efforts have resulted in a $225,000 settlement on behalf of an 89-year-old plaintiff in a deeply impactful intersection collision case.
The heart of this legal matter revolves around a T-intersection collision, where the plaintiff, accompanied by his wife, proceeded with the right-of-way. A young defendant failed to stop at a designated sign, resulting in a collision with the plaintiff’s vehicle. The impact caused the plaintiff’s car to veer off the road, leading to a collision with a utility pole. The defendant faced charges for failure to maintain proper control, underscoring the seriousness of the situation.
The consequences of the collision were substantial, leaving the retired Army Lt. Colonel with cervical fractures, lacerations on his left forearm, and a contusion on his forehead. These injuries required extensive medical attention, including a hospital stay and subsequent rehabilitation. Before he was injured, the plaintiff lived with his wife in their family home and was active and independent. As we acknowledge this outcome, we also recognize the resilience of the plaintiff and his family, who navigated the challenges posed by this incident. Tom’s dedication to his client’s well-being has brought about a fair resolution, offering compensation and a sense of closure after a distressing incident that significantly disrupted the plaintiff’s life.
