A woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a head-on crash received $3.97 million on July 24 to settle her Morris County suit, Ellas v. Cavaliere.

Plaintiff Aliki Ellas was driving north on Bernardsville Road in Mendham Borough on March 28, 2017, when an oncoming car crossed the center line and struck her vehicle head-on.

Cavaliere pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving with a civil reservation in connection with the crash, Leonard said.
