A Pennsylvania woman left paralyzed from the chest down by a car accident settled her case, Duhai v. Lomax , on Oct. 13 for $4.05 million plus an assigned right to sue that could be worth another $2 million.

Elizabeth Duhai’s car was rear-ended on June 22, 2005, on the exit ramp from Route 287 onto South Street in Morristown. The crash fractured her spine at T-2 and T-3 and she had surgery to fuse the vertebrae from T-1 through T-4. Now 27, she is confined to a wheelchair, unable to walk and incontinent, says her attorney, Bruce Nagel of Nagel Rice in Roseland.
