In October 2022, Feldman, Kleidman, Collins & Sappe LLP’s (FKC&S) 46-year-old client from Poughkeepsie, NY was a passenger on a motorcycle heading south on Route 9 in Wappingers Falls, NY. A Wappingers Falls resident was driving north on Route 9 in a loaned car from a dealership in New Jersey and made a left turn in front of the motorcycle. As a result, FKC&S’s client was ejected and suffered fractures to his pelvis, multiple ribs and his collar bone.
The case was quickly placed into suit and the insurance company for the car dealership, as well as for the driver’s mother, offered their full policies to resolve the case. Cars turning left must yield the right of way to through traffic. By proving that the defendant did not yield before making a left turn, Steven H. Cohen was able to obtain full policy settlements for FKC&S’s client.
