Lawsuit Against NJ Successful in Death of Woman

Suing the state successfully is extremely difficult. Andrew Fraser brought this case under the NJ Tort Claims Act against the NJ Department of Transportation claiming gross negligence in the maintenance of Rt. 206 in Roxbury where icy conditions caused the motor vehicle accident that killed a 44 year old mother of 3 children. Evidence showed that an underground water source, known to the DOT for more than I year, caused a water and ice condition. The plaintiff lost control of her vehicle on the ice and was hit by an oncoming pick up truck, Although the State argued that efforts to correct the problem were aggravated by weather conditions, the State settled after four days of trial.
