Joseph West v. Caitlin Ross and Peter Ross: An NCAA Division I football player who broke his foot in a car accident, ruining any chance he had of playing professional ball, sued the car’s driver and has recovered nearly $500,000.

Joseph West, known by friends by his middle name, Forrest, attended school in Salisbury, where he played football, lacrosse and basketball and even found time to row for the crew team. “He was just a gifted athlete,” said his lawyer, Michael Jainchill of RisCassi & Davis in Hartford. “He was one of those kids who was good at everything from the time he was little.”
