A $2.59 million settlement has been reached for a father of six who was injured when a concrete truck tipped over on a construction site, knocking him unconscious and causing other serious injuries.

On Feb. 12, 2020, 43-year-old Newark resident Marbin E. Pineda was seriously injured at a construction site on Prince Street in Elizabeth when an outrigger for a cement truck was placed over a drainage pipe. The weight of the truck caused the pipe to collapse and the truck to tip. When it did, the concrete pump swung, hitting Pineda and knocking him unconscious. He was transported by ambulance to University Hospital in Newark, according to his attorney, Andrew Prince of Tobin, Kessler, Greenstein, Caruso, Wiener & Konray.
