A 58-year-old Paterson woman has settled her matter against the City of Paterson following a collision on the night of June 17, 2017. The accident was caused when she turned right from Lewis Street onto Beckwith Avenue, in Paterson, when she struck a guardrail that was protruding into the roadway. It was dark at the time of the collision and she did not see the guardrail prior to striking it. Witnesses testified that the guardrail had been in that condition for months prior to the accident and had been reported to the City.

As a result of the accident, the woman injured her neck and back resulting in both a cervical and lumbar fusion.

The woman was represented by Personal Injury Chair and Member Edward Capozzi and Associate Corey Dietz of Brach Eichler LLC.

The City of Paterson agreed to the amount following mediation with the Honorable Raymond A. Reddin on May 4, 2020.

My case was not a simple case, but Ed Capozzi and his team took it head on. It was a pleasure to deal with Ed Capozzi and Corey Dietz. All their knowledge and fast response to any questions I had throughout the case made it easier on me. I can’t forget about Mr. Capozzi’s wonderful paralegal. Ella Twardowski was a pleasure to talk to and work with. Everybody was kind and thoughtful. This team of attorneys never made me feel like I was just another case. They make you feel like friends. If you need an attorney, give Ed Capozzi and Corey Dietz a call! They won’t let you down! Thanks to everyone at Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers! You guys rock!

The personal injury attorneys at Brach Eichler Injury Lawyers set the bar very high. They are a phenomenal group of lawyers and I would not recommend searching anywhere else.
