Defendant Wins the First Staten Island Ferry Lawsuit

By admin

ADVERTISEMENTS

On Oct. 15, 2003 the ferry Andrew J. Barberi crashed into the dock at Staten Island. At that time there were about 1,500 passengers aboard. It was one of the worst transportation disasters in the city?s history. The concrete and wood pier ripped open the boat, trapping or partly crushing dozens of people. The assistant captain operating it blacked out at the wheel.

On Wednesday, September 17, a former fish market worker , James McMillan Jr., 44, was awarded $18.3 million a federal judge Jack B Weinstein of D on Wednesday This is more than double the highest amount granted so far to any of the 130 victims who settled before trial. McMillan was paralyzed in the crash. This was the first lawsuit against the city for the 2003 Staten Island Ferry crash to go to trial.

 If you or a loved one has been injured by a party who recklessly operated a car, boat, or other vehicle while intoxicated, you may have grounds for a personal injury suit. Contact Houston personal injury attorneys Williams Kherkher at 800-220-9341.
