In Pronovich v. Express Automotive and Towing,a Somerset County jury on March 2 awarded a South Bound Brook woman $2.27 million as compensation for injuries she sustained from a generator that had been installed on the van that she uses for her dog-grooming business, though a partial vacatur brings the actual recovery down to $1.97 million.

The jury awarded the damages to plaintiff Theresa Pronovich, now 56, after finding the defendant, Express Automotive and Towing of Somerset, liable for her injuries, said her lawyer, Ronald Grayzel.
