Somerset County Jury Awards $5.2 Million to Man Injured in Costco Parking Lot Crash
A jury in Somerset County has awarded Marc Ferrara, a resident of Watchung, New Jersey, $5.2 million in damages following a 2017 incident in a Costco parking lot. The verdict was delivered on April 24 in Somerset County Superior Court. Ferrara, represented by attorney Nicholas Leonardis, sustained multiple injuries, including disc herniations and a concussion, when a vehicle driven by Noah Greenbaum struck his car door as he was tending to his daughter. The incident occurred while Ferrara was stopped in a line of traffic waiting to buy gas. The jury found that Costco was not liable for the accident, despite the defense's argument that Ferrara's injuries could have been caused by other activities, such as lifting his dog.
