Recently, Shareholder Evan J. Lide and his team obtained a $2,437,500 settlement for a woman who suffered a neck injury, back injury, and traumatic brain injury when she slipped and fell on ice in Middlesex County.

“We were happy to secure this great result for our client, particularly because prior to our involvement, a doctor wrongfully labeled her a faker and a maligner,” said Evan. “Though her traumatic brain injury is unfortunately permanent, this settlement will go a long way for our client because she can no longer work as a result of her injuries.”

Evan is a member of the firm’s Accident & Personal Injury Group. He is an expert Civil Trial Attorney as certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, focusing his practice on representing people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other catastrophic injuries, including death resulting from automobile crashes, product liability, and premises liability.

Recently, Shareholder Evan J. Lide and his team obtained a $985,000 settlement in a wrongful death case for the estate of a union steamfitter who died instantly after being struck by another vehicle while driving his motorcycle in Gloucester County.

“The decedent was not a high-earner, but he provided considerable advice, support, and companionship to his family,” said Evan. “Whereas other attorneys might have deemed our client’s case to be a weak one, the Stark & Stark team was able to show that our client had a strong damages case because of the role the decedent played within his family.”

Lide and his team obtained a $1,975,000 settlement for a 36-year-old man who was injured when, while walking into a store in Mercer County, he was struck from behind by a vehicle that had jumped the curb. Our client suffered serious internal injuries that required surgery, and a permanent back injury.

“I am proud we were able to get justice for our client here,” said Evan. “While his injuries will never go away, and they will limit him from working as long as he would have wanted to, he will be compensated for what he went through, which was no fault of his own.”
