In Tortorella v. Ong, a Middlesex County jury on April 20 awarded a Scotch Plains woman $5 million in damages as compensation for spinal injuries she sustained when her car was rear-ended.
The jury, after deliberating 45 minutes, awarded the damages to plaintiff Sandi Tortorella, now 43, at trial before Superior Court Judge Thomas McCloskey, according to her attorney, Nicholas Leonardis of Stathis & Leonardis in Edison. The trial came after Tortorella rejected a pretrial offer of $500,000, he said.
