A wrongful death, someone dying due to someone else’s negligence in authority, is a tragic and completely avoidable event. At Soloff & Zervanos Personal Injury Attorneys, our New Jersey wrongful death lawyers want to discuss a wrongful death that occurred here in New Jersey—a vehicle accident that wrecked a family, losing their loved one and main family supporter.
In April 2018, John Scala was driving in Little Falls and slowed down for traffic. A truck, owned by TSM Logistics and operated by Shadi Makanast struck him from behind, crushing the vehicle. John Scala died from injuries on the scene. John left behind two children, Jen and Matt, and his wife, Lynn. According to his daughter Jen, “their father was the driving force for the family always to keep going, no matter what obstacles got in the way.”
In March of 2020, the Middlesex County judge approved a $931,000 settlement filed by the family due to the wrongful death of John Scala. This ruling could not replace the father and husband the family lost. Still, it went a long way toward moving the family forward and keeping the company accountable for their negligence.
