Two vehicles collide in an intersection and a passenger in the minivan is killed. New York personal injury lawyers plan to follow this case closely after both drivers claim to have had the green light.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - October 26, 2009 - An East Village crash has caught the attention of New York personal injury lawyers all around the city including expert New York auto accident attorney, David Perecman.
Very early Saturday morning, the passenger of a minivan was killed in a vehicle accident in the East Village, New York. Personal injury lawyers would not find this particularly unusual, except that both drivers are insistently claiming to have had the green light.
The passenger, Jacqueline Franklin, 55, was a resident of Queens. The minivan she was riding in collided with a cargo van.
Emergency personnel ripped the roof off the minivan to rescue Franklin, but she was dead.
No charges have been filed against either driver. However, New York personal injury lawyers predict a complicated court case could be looming. Families of victims often seek compensation for their loss. It is unknown if any video footage exists of the vehicle accident.
