In Grecco v. McGowan, a Middlesex County jury last month awarded $3.55 million, including $50,000 in punitive damages, to a passenger in a car struck by a drunken driver.
On Oct. 1, 2011, Katherine Grecco was riding in a vehicle driven by her boyfriend, Peter Tyliczka, on Clifton Street in Westfield. The vehicle was traveling through the intersection with Tice Place when another motorist, Robert McGowan, traveling on Tice Place, failed to stop at a stop sign, striking Tyliczka’s vehicle. Tyliczka, 69, was killed, while Grecco, then 61, sustained a severe head injury leading to a brain bleed, as well as fractures to her right arm, left ankle, ribs and collar bone, said her lawyer, Craig Rothenberg of Rothernberg, Rubenstein, Berliner & Shinrod in Clinton.
