Greenberg Minasian Settles Two Wrongful Death Claims in August

Newark Injury LawyersWEST ORANGE, NJ – Greenberg Minasian, LLC, a premiere personal injury law firm located in Essex County, New Jersey, has announced the settlement of two cases in August stemming from the wrongful death of two individuals.

The first case resulted in a $1.125 million settlement awarded to the wife of a 53 year-old motorist struck and killed when a dump truck lost control and landed on top of the Plaintiff’s car. Two additional vehicles then collided with the Plaintiff’s car, creating doubt as to which collision caused the fatal injury. The recovery was limited by the available insurance and lack of assets. A claim against one of the additional vehicle operators is still pending

The second case resulted in a $1.75 million settlement due to the death of a 27-year-old junk hauler at a recycling center. After dumping his truck, a payloader operated by a recycling center employee was driven backwards at twice the posted speed limit and without the operator looking behind him, crushing the Plaintiff while his brother witnessed the tragic events unfold. The settlement included a bystander claim for the brother.

Both cases had been pending for several years.

“We’re pleased to finally get some closure and a measure of justice for the families,” said William S. Greenberg, attorney and partner at Greenberg Minasian. “While no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a loved one, both families are now secure in the knowledge that their future finances are now in order,” he added.

The recent wrongful death settlements are part of a growing list of successful cases for Greenberg Minasian, which has earned a reputation for high value settlements and verdicts for its clients, including a record setting $17 million verdict in 2014 (Baker v. New Jersey Transit).

A man who suffered a traumatic brain injury when the bus he was riding in collided with a car was paid a $1.25 million settlement in his Hudson County suit, Boutin v. Montoya, on October 30th.

Clinton Boutin of New York was riding in a Yep Tours bus on 12th Street in Jersey City on July 6, 2017, when the bus collided with a Honda Accord, then struck a lamppost. The accident occurred when a car attempted to make a left turn from the right lane, said Boutin’s lawyer, Lawrence Minasian of Greenberg Minasian in West Orange.

Yep Tours is a low-cost carrier that offers service between New York’s Chinatown and the Chinatown section in Philadelphia, said Minasian.

Boutin, 47, a financial analyst, claimed he sustained a closed-head injury, herniation with cervical radiculopathy at C5-C6, and multiple bulging discs, as well as tears in the right shoulder joint. Boutin suffers headaches, fatigue, slow mental processing, difficulty concentrating, and impaired verbal skills and visual memory following the accident, said Minasian.

Greenberg Minasian Settles Injury Case Against Trampoline Park for $1.25 Million

A lawsuit filed by a man who broke both his legs at a trampoline park, Vogt v. Rebounderz of Edison, settled for $1.25 million on Aug. 25.

The settlement resolves plaintiff Emil Vogt’s claims against Rebounderz Franchise Development and its owner, Yeglinksi Enterprises, filed in Middlesex County Superior Court.

According to to a statement from Vogt’s lawyer, Lawrence Minasian of Greenberg Minasian in West Orange: “Emil was injured in the area known as the Foam Pit, which consists of two side-by-side trampoline lanes with a pit of foam landing area. As Emil jumped from the trampoline attempting to vault into the pit, both of his feet became caught in the opening between the springs. When the trampoline launched him into the air, his feet became stuck, which snapped both of his legs in half.”

Robert Ballou of Garvey Ballou in Toms River, who represents Rebounderz, and James Murphy of Garrity Graham Murphy Garofalo & Flinn in East Hanover, who represents Yeglinski, didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Vogt alleged that, as he jumped toward the edge of the trampoline, his feet became caught in between the springs of the trampoline, and that he snapped his legs when vaulting upward, fracturing his right and left tibias and fibulas, and his right medial malleolus, which resulted in six surgeries to his legs. He has been unable to return to his job as a truck driver, according to Minasian.

Minasian said that the American Society for Testing and Materials standards govern trampoline manufacturers and states that, at recreational facilities, trampoline springs must be covered and never exposed. “Plaintiff alleged that both [defendants] were on notice of this problem and produced videos of the exposed springs. [Rebounderz] covered the springs with skirting that was attached via Velcro, and stated that when the Velcro detaches exposing the springs, it is the franchisee’s … responsibility to monitor the trampolines for exposed springs, and immediately address the issue by reattaching the Velcro. Plaintiff pursued a design defect products liability claim against [Rebounderz] and a negligent operations claim against [Yeglinksi Enterprises].”

Greenberg Minasian, LLC, is pleased to announce its recent induction into the New Jersey Law Journal’s Hall of Fame for 2015.  The prestigious recognition stems from the firm’s $17 million verdict in 2014 (Baker v. New Jersey Transit).

The award was included as part of the highest and second-highest verdicts or settlements in six different categories.  Greenberg Minasian placed first in the “Public Liability” category, and had the second highest award amount among all the recognized law firms in all categories.

In early 2011, Greenberg Minasian’s client exited a public transit bus in East Orange when the bus driver closed the door on a bag she was carrying.  The bus dragged the client as it departed, crushing her pelvis and causing a cascade of other injuries, including a closed head injury.

The client underwent 12 subsequent surgeries for her injuries, including one that caused her to stop breathing, exacerbating the head injury and leading to a cognitive deficit.  In February, 2014, an eight-member jury awarded GM’s client $17 million for past and future medical expenses, as well as pain and suffering.

The recognition from the New Jersey Law Journal is just one of several recent awards and recognitions Greenberg Minasian has received.  Those include the Top 50 Verdicts of 2014 from The National Law Journal and the 2014 Litigator Award.
