Alexandra Smith, PPA, et al. v. Claude Errera: A 16-year-old girl who was injured after a car veered off the roadway and smashed head on into the horse she was riding was recently awarded nearly $268,000 by a New Haven judge.
Alexandra Smith and several friends went out riding on Sept. 16, 2011 in the town of Bethany. Though Smith was with classmates from Amity Regional High School in Woodbridge, her lawyer said her very best friend at the time was her horse, named Honey. “She had spent almost every day with this horse,” said Joseph D. Foti Jr., of Moore, O’Brien, Yelenak & Foti in Cheshire. “When [Smith] couldn’t ride the horse, she was grooming her.”
