Court Upholds 524000 Award in Pedestrian Fatality Case
The New York Supreme Court affirmed a $24,000 award to the Carl Johanson estate from a 1952 traffic death. Rockaway Bus Corp and driver Andrew Wallace, and John S. Newell faced $75,000 in claimed damages for a July 26 incident on Fairfield Avenue near Courtland Avenue. The court found evidence Newell’s actions may have been a proximate cause in the bus’s sudden maneuver resulting in the fatal collision.
