Reported in August: A Clifton woman agreed to a $4.2 million settlement in Yarrish v. Hines, an Essex County suit over a crash that killed her baby daughter and left her severely injured.
The family of a 19-year-old man who died in an accident involving an aerial work platform received court approval on Sept. 1 for a $1.7 million settlement in their Monmouth County wrongful death suit, Estate of Dill v. Eastern Highreach Co.
Justin Dill of Belford was working at Six Flags Great Adventure on Sept. 1, 2017, where workers were stringing holiday lights on trees and poles, when he was struck by the front tire of an aerial work platform. Dill was acting as a spotter, walking beside the machine, when the tire hit him, and rolled on top of him and stopped. The operator, another Six Flags employee, reversed the machine off of Dill, and he was taken by helicopter to a local hospital, where he died of internal injuries, said Peter Chamas of Gill & Chamas in Woodbridge, who represented the family.
