Case Summary
Settlement — 68 year old woman who was rear-ended in Queens County by a tractor trailer and suffered neck, back and shoulder injuries, resulting in the need for shoulder arthroscopic surgery and lumbar and cervical percutaneous discectomy procedures. MERGED: the page prints this matter TWICE - once as "$500,000 Rear End Accident" and once as "$500,000 Rear-Ended Tractor Trailer Settlement*" (asterisk in the site's own heading), under two different per-case slugs, with the same injuries; the asterisked rendering is the richer one and is used here. County: Queens County.
