A Gloucester County woman who was severely injured and now requires ongoing care because of a 2018 accident involving a volunteer firefighter who was racing to a fire had a $4.6 million settlement in her case approved.
Gloucester County Superior Court Judge Samuel Ragonese Jr. approved the settlement, including the plaintiff attorneys' petition for an enhanced fee, on Oct. 11 in the case, Baker v. Campbell, according to electronic court documents. The case settled in principal earlier this year.
Plaintiff Melinda Baker, then 56, was involved in an accident in late afternoon on Jan. 26, 2018, in Wenonah, according to her lawyer and a police report. She was driving through town in a 2005 red Dodge Neon and came to a stop light. The light turned green, and she began proceeding through the intersection of Route 45 and Parkville Station Road.
