K. Noonan and Jason S. Marks, principals in the law firm of
Noonan, Perillo & Polenzani, Ltd. achieved a settlement for a
brain damaged five year-old girl in the amount of $4.7 million

little girl through her father, the custodial parent).

with a collision ensuing. At the hospital post-accident, the
mother/driver was reported to have tested positive for
controlled substances.
In representing
the injured child, multiple experts were retained by the Noonan
firm, including an accident reconstruction expert, a physician
life care plan expert, an economist for the purpose of offering
opinions as to the child's future medical expenses, and two
toxicologists who each offered opinions rebutting allegations of
the automobile driver's alleged intoxication or impairment.
The matter
settled for the limits of the trucking company's insurance
coverage in the week prior to the scheduled commencement of
trial. |
