In Patel v. Pugliese, a Middlesex County jury awarded $2.1 million on Dec. 12 to an Iselin woman who sustained neck, back and right knee injuries in a motor vehicle accident.

Anjali Patel was driving east on Grand Avenue in Woodbridge with the right of way on March 16, 2019, when a vehicle driven by Patricia Pugliese, traveling north on Broome Street, failed to yield, said plaintiffs lawyer Christopher P. Weidman of Stark & Stark in Hamilton. The vehicles collided, pushing Patel’s car onto the sidewalk, according to Weidman.
