Summer 2007
Blume
Goldfaden Partners, John M. Blume and Dennis Donnelly represented
a family involved in a motor vehicle accident in 2004. The
husband (driver) and wife (passenger) were traveling in
a van on a roadway which accommodated one lane of traffic
in each direction, divided by a double yellow line. The
defendant crossed the double yellow line, and hit our clients'
vehicle head on, killing the 68 year old wife and mother
of seven grown children. Messers Blume and Donnelly were
able to secure a Court ruling which dispensed with any liability
issues, making the matter one for consideration of damages
only. In addition, Mr. Blume and Mr. Donnelly represented
another family member (the decedent's son) who was traveling
in a car behind his parents. The son's claims were based
in his psychological injuries, as he had witnessed the accident,
his mother's injuries, and her death. The case was settled
during Court hearings on the "eve" of trial.
