ONE MILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT IN INDIANA CAR CRASH CASE
On July 23, 2009, a Newton Superior Court sitting in Kentland, Indiana, approved a one million dollar settlement for four individuals who sustained injuries on October 31, 2007. The Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll represented one of the passengers. That passenger received $943,000.00 of the one million dollar settlement proceeds. The plaintiff, a passenger in the commercially-owned vehicle, sustained serious, permanent injuries resulting in paralysis from the waist down when she was thrown from a vehicle that was making a turn. The three other passengers in the vehicle settled their respective cases for a total of $57,000.00.
This is the second tragic case Jeff Kroll has worked on involving a paralyzed woman in the State of Indiana. In 2002, Kroll represented a 37-year old plaintiff who became paralyzed when she fell eleven feet down an unsecured hole while looking at a home under construction in the Fox Run Estates subdivision in Schererville, Indiana. The case settled for $6.85 Million.
