A man who underwent two spinal surgeries after his car was involved in a chain-reaction crash was paid a $750,000 settlement in his Hudson County suit, Broderick v. DJM Transport, on Oct. 5.

Patrick Broderick of Sussex County was stopped at a traffic signal on Route 23 in Riverdale on July 13, 2016, when his car was hit from behind. The crash occurred when a dump truck loaded with rocks from a nearby quarry came down a hill at a high rate of speed, crashing into a stopped vehicle. That vehicle, in turn, struck the rear of Broderick’s car, pushing it forward 100 yards, said plaintiff’s lawyer Anthony Riposta of Riposta Lawyers in North Arlington.
