Somerset County Jury Awards $5.2 Million in Costco Parking Lot Crash Case
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 the Somerset County Superior Court. Ferrara, represented by attorney Nicholas Leonardis, sustained injuries when his vehicle was struck by another car while he was stopped in a line of traffic waiting to buy gas. The incident occurred when Ferrara opened his driver’s side door to attend to his young daughter in the back seat, and a vehicle driven by Noah Greenbaum attempted to pass, hitting the open door. Ferrara suffered multiple injuries, including disc herniations and a concussion. The jury found that Costco was not liable for the incident.
