A motorist who sustained spinal and shoulder injuries when her vehicle was struck at an intersection in Hackensack, including aggravation of injuries sustained in an earlier accident, settled her Bergen County suit, Watts v. Moran, for $1.5 million on March 23.

On Nov. 5, 2015, plaintiff Charmain Watts, then 46, was driving her SUV on Prospect Avenue, passing through the intersection with American Legion Drive, when she was struck from the side by another SUV that was travelling on American Legion Drive, according to her lawyer, Jeffrey Hasson, who heads a firm in Teaneck.
