In Silvestre-Oseida v. Sesay, brother and sister Alba and Alexis Silvestre-Oseida suffered serious injuries when their car was rear-ended at a stoplight in Middlesex County. They were awarded a $1.175 million verdict on Aug. 15 in a three-day jury trial.

The police report showed that on March 13, 2017, the Silvestre-Oseida siblings were rear-ended while in Alba’s red Honda Civic by defendant Unisa A. Sesay’s vehicle, described as a grey Nissan Murano SUV. The siblings were on Route 18 south in East Brunswick when the Honda Civic stopped at a red light, with Alba’s brother, Alexis, seated in the front passenger seat at the time of impact.
