$3,750,000 Settlement

Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. attorney Fred Pritzker recently obtained a $3,750,000 federal court settlement on behalf of a 38-year-old New Jersey man whose leg was amputated following a recreational vehicle accident.

The Injury
A defect in the vehicle caused the man to lose control and crash. He suffered a badly fractured ankle that required surgery and use of a cage-like apparatus screwed into his foot and leg in an effort to stabilize the broken bones and promote healing. Unfortunately, after many infections and surgeries, the man’s leg had to be amputated below the knee.

Complex Engineering Issues
The defendant in the case claimed that the crash was caused by operator error unrelated to any product defect. Mr. Pritzker gathered and presented evidence proving that the product was defective and that the defect caused the crash. To do this, they had to replicate the failure mode that gave rise to the crash, which involved complex engineering issues.

Because Mr. Pritzker practices extensively in the area of product liability, they were able to present persuasive evidence that resulted in a sizeable settlement for their client. Read more about Fred Pritzker.
