Keep in mind that, if you take a close look at N.J. Ct. R. 1:21, any out-of-pocket fees are taken off the top, prior to the calculation of the contingency fee. This includes things like paying for expert witnesses, and can be very substantial in a tort case. This is why many firms won't even bother with cases where the expected payout is under 6 figures.

So it's absolutely possible to have a court award $150K, of which half is paid out as fees, and then for the attorneys to take $25K of the remaining $75K, leaving just $50K for the injured party.

When I took the train to Port Jervis last May, there were quite a number of people on that train with hiking gear.

South Mountain Reservation, Millburn station. You take the train from Newark.

Are you arguing that it would be totally ok for me to run down a person who's in the crosswalk when my light is green because it would be their fault?

"The bicyclist involved in the July 19th Jersey City hit-and-run by Councilwoman Amy DeGise has filed a $1 million tort claim against the city, the notice of claim says."

First line in the article.

If she crossed the intersection at 25mph she’d be crawling, not zipping through as can plainly be seen. Her car wouldn’t bounce.

You’d have to remove the stops, which is doable, but you need some tools.

My guess is it’s someone who lived in one of the 3 penthouse units with the balcony, or someone jumped from the terrace on the podium.

None the less, very sad. I used to live there.

I drive on the block every single day. 1 she was going WAY too fast for that block. There are a bunch of daycares and lots of people walking around. 2. She made zero attempt at stopping or even slowing down at an intersection. What kind of driver doesn't slow down in a heavily populated intersection. Green light or not you just can't drive the 25 around there and she definitely was/ going over.
