A Monmouth County suit over a collision that allegedly worsened the plaintiff’s back condition, Nunez v. Altschul, was settled on June 18 for $1.05 million.

On June 10, 2014, plaintiff Joseph Nunez Jr. was working for Canada Dry in Neptune City and driving a 2009 blue Chevrolet Cobalt heading eastbound on Valley Road in Middletown. As he turned into the Navesink A&P parking lot, Nunez’s vehicle was struck by a 2011 black Chevy Cruze driven by defendant Marilyn Altschul. Altschul was exiting the same parking lot and attempting to turn left onto Valley Road westbound, according to the police report.
