SUPERVISOR RECEIVES A $1,300,000 SETTLEMENT FROM THE CITY OF NEW YORK AFTER SUSTAINING INJURIES AFTER BEING STRUCK BY A MUNICIPAL VEHICLE

A Supervisor employed by the New York City Police Department received a settlement of $1,300,000 from the City of New York after sustaining injuries when he was struck by a municipal vehicle after responding to a radio run. The supervisor sustained a lower leg injury which became a chronic condition. The Department surveyed him off the job. The supervisor was then awarded a ¾ line-of-duty disability pension. After filing a notice of claim with the City of New York within 90 days of the date of the accident, DCD sued the City of New York pursuant to GML §205-e and common law negligence alleging the operator of the municipal vehicle violated Section 1180(a), 1146, 1212 and 375(1) of the Vehicle & Traffic Law. DCD claimed the City of New York was reckless and negligent in the ownership, operation, management and control of the subject vehicle. Dominic DiPrisco settled the case with Corporation Counsel for $1,300,000.
