$2.55 Million Settlement for New Jersey Motor Vehicle Accident Resulting in the Development of RSD

In April 2008, after Mediation in Camden, NJ, attorneys John M. Dodig and Jason A. Daria obtained a $2.55 million settlement for Tara Bednar. Ms. Bednar was injured in a motor vehicle accident on April 19, 2005 in Hammonton, New Jersey. Ms. Bednar’s vehicle was struck by a vehicle owned by Harold Heritage Wholesale, whose driver negligently made a left-hand turn in front of Ms. Bednar’s vehicle, resulting in a collision. As a result of the crash, Ms. Bednar sustained a fracture to her right wrist, which later developed into RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) causing pain on a daily basis. As a result of Ms. Bednar’s injury, she was forced to undergo extensive physical therapy that ultimately resulted in the implementation of a spinal cord stimulator to control her pain. The settlement was reached after a lengthy Mediation that took place over several days.
