A man whose left leg was amputated after he was struck by a commercial vehicle agreed to a $4.35 million settlement in his Ocean County suit, Bland v. Unique Scaffolding Systems, on June 20.

Lamar Bland, now 28, was working as a sanitation worker for the Borough of Point Pleasant on Oct. 2, 2018, when he was struck by a vehicle owned by Unique Scaffolding Systems of Kenilworth and operated by Juan Jorge, a company employee. The crash left Bland pinned between the Unique Scaffolding systems vehicle and the garbage truck. He sustained a fracture of the left tibia and fibula, and a displaced left femoral fracture. After multiple operations in an effort to save the leg, Bland ultimately had his leg amputated below the knee, according to Norman Hobbie of Hobbie, Corrigan & Bertucio in Eatontown, who represents Bland.
