Plaintiff Teresa Kerr, now 47, agreed to the settlement with Lancer Insurance Co., the carrier for defendants DeCamp Bus Lines of Montclair and its driver, Helder DeSilva, on Oct. 17, the day trial was set to begin before Bergen County Superior Court Judge James DeLuca, said Kerr’s attorney, Edward Capozzi.
Kerr received her settlement funds on Nov. 1, said Capozzi, of Roseland’s Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers.
Kerr was injured on Jan. 14, 2012, in North Arlington when her car was struck by a DeCamp bus as she was making a left turn from Ridge Road onto Front Street, Capozzi said.
