In Coppola v. Yabon, a man involved in a crash while he was trying to avoid a car stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike was awarded $2.5 million on his under-insured motorist claim on March 9.

Shortly before 11 p.m. on Feb. 6, 2015, John Coppola was headed southbound from his Manhattan job to his Howell home, driving in the left lane, where a vehicle was stopped with no lights or flashers on. Coppola didn’t see the stopped vehicle until he was about 30 feet away, and tried to swerve away but struck the vehicle, sending his vehicle to the center lane, where he was struck by another motorist, Dr. Bruce Aronwald, according to Coppola’s counsel, Kathleen DiGiovanni of Levinson Axlerod in Howell.
