A 36-year-old Bloomfield man who was in an induced coma and had his left leg amputated after the bicycle he was riding was sideswiped by a 33,000-pound box truck has settled his case for $5 million.
Attorney James Bergenn said defense attorneys agreed to pay the $5 million “within days” of receiving a draft lawsuit, suggesting they realized the plaintiff had a very strong case.
