The victim, Lawrence Sinsheimer, was paralyzed after he was struck by a Mercedes-Benz in August of 2002 on Midland Avenue. The driver of the car, Ajay Angras, hit Mr. Sinsheimer with such force that he was knocked out of his shoes and thrown 40 feet into the air. He was paralyzed from the waist down and spent his remaining days in a nursing home, where he died from causes unrelated to the accident, said his lawyer, Bruce G. Behrins. The case settled at a conference before Justice John A. Fusco prior to jury selection. The defendant was represented by the law firm of Connors and Connors.

The case settled for $2,500,000.00 prior to the scheduled February 16, 2009 trial date. We wish the client well and hope that he will further recover from his injuries as time moves on. It was a privilege and an honor to represent him throughout this ordeal and we know that the future will bring him better days.
