Howard P. Lesnik, Esq. Handles the truck accident on the George Washington Bridge on behalf of the commercial driver

Personal Injury Lawyer Howard P Lesnik at My NJ Injury Lawyer recently secured one $300,000 Compensation on behalf of a client seriously injured in a traffic accident.

MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Drive to New York City During evening rush hour, bumper-to-bumper traffic across the George Washington Bridge can be stressful. Getting rear-ended by a large JB Hunt tractor-trailer pulling into your lane is worrisome. It is frightening when the vehicle is dragged after the collision until it comes to a stop. When this young woman was dealing with the injuries resulting from the accident, she called the personal injury attorney Howard Lesnik, Esq. from Mountainside NJ.

As if the accident itself wasn’t bad enough, the driver of the truck tried to blame the injured customer for the collision. Mr. Lesnik filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court for her injuries and the medical costs associated with her recovery. During the litigation, Mr. Lesnik hired a retired New Jersey police officer as an accident reconstruction expert. The expert reconstructed the course of the accident and was able to prove that the truck did not operate its large commercial vehicle properly and tried to merge into traffic without control Blind spots. When Mr. Lesnik took the truck driver’s statement, he also admitted that he did not see his client’s car before the collision with her vehicle and that he was behind my client’s car when he tried to merge.

My client suffered serious injuries to her left side as a result of the truck accident Shoulder, left knee and back. An MRI of the left knee revealed a tear of the medial meniscus. An MRI of her left shoulder showed a rotator cuff tear on her right shoulder. The MRI of the lumbar spine in her back showed herniated discs and bulges.

Due to the injuries, his client required arthroscopic knee surgery and arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Mr. Lesnik retained a board-certified orthopedic surgeon as a medical expert, who concluded that these injuries were permanent and caused by the JB Hunt semi-truck accident. In preparation for the trial, Mr. Lesnik also hired an illustrator who created a storyboard to visually explain the surgical procedures to the jury.

Before trial, JB Hunt’s defense lawyers requested that this case be mediated by a professional mediator. After mediation, we were able to settle my client’s claim with JB Hunt $145,000.00. As a result, my client was able to avoid the need and uncertainty of trial and was able to receive full compensation for her injuries sustained by a truck driver who failed to check his rearview mirrors before entering heavy traffic at the George Washington Bridge.
