A Superior Court judge in Bergen County approved a $3.7 million settlement on Jan. 22 reached on behalf of a woman who suffered a disabling brain injury in a fall while disembarking from a boat.

In Brashears v. Edgewater Marina, Jennifer Brashears, 48, was exiting a 50-foot yacht after it was raised from the water at a marina in Edgewater on July 22, 2014. The accident occurred just after the boat was elevated from the water on a Travelift, a large crane used for lifting boats, the suit claimed.
