10 Lawsuits That Cost New Jersey BIG
The state paid out $72.7 million in tax payer dollar in 2013 to determine claims documented against it, an increment of about $24 million from 2012 and the most since no less than 2006, as indicated by records acquired by The Star-Ledger under the Open Public Records Act.
That sum, notwithstanding, was overshadowed by the more than $300 million the state brought home through suit, a $104 million increment from 2012, records show. More than half got through a settlement identified with the clean-up of the contaminated Passaic River.
The state paid out in cases running from medicinal negligence to prepare mischances and State Police trooper unfortunate behavior. The following is a rundown of the 10 biggest payouts a year ago, and in addition a database of each case in which the state gave over citizen cash:
$7.5 million: Elda Martinez, et al. vs. Gary Ebert, MD, et al.
Elda and Leovardo Martinez of New Brunswick, parents of Aleksander Martinez, sued in state Superior Court in Middlesex County in 2010 claiming their infant son suffered brain injury and other permanent medical injuries as a result of a malpractice in 2004 while in the care of several doctors at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
$5 million: Camille N. Campbell, et al. vs. Salma Ali, MD, et al.*
Camille Campbell and Robert T. Hargrow of Newark, parents of Robert Hargrow, sued in state Superior Court in Essex County in 2012 claiming their infant son suffered pain and suffering and other injuries as a result of inadequate treatment after his birth at University Hospital, run by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
$5 million: Vilma Conde, et al. vs. UMDNJ, et al.
Vilma Conde and Gustavo Idrovo of Elizabeth, sued in state Superior Court in Essex County in 2008 claiming an infant in their care, Harry Idrovo, received inadequate treatment in 2007 while in the care of doctors and other medical personnel affiliated with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, causing “severe, permanent, painful and disabling injuries.”
$3.5 million: Raghav Tangri, et al. vs. John F. Kennedy Medical Center, et al.
Suman Tangri of Jersey City, the mother of Raghav Tangri, sued in state Superior Court in Essex County in 2010 claiming her infant received inadequate care at medical centers including John F. Kennedy Medical Center, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Hospital and University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, causing brain damage, which resulted in cerebral palsy, physical disability and other pain and suffering.
$3.47 million: Christopher Sarao vs. NJ Transit
Christopher Sarao of Sandyston sued in federal court in 2009 claiming that while driving an NJ Transit train in 2008, he struck a large tree at 40 mph that the agency had failed to remove from the tracks, causing injuries to his right knee, back, neck, shoulder and lower back.
$3.4 million: Robert Harkins vs. N.J. Division of Youth and Family Services, et al.
Ricky Harkins of Pennsauken sued in state Superior Court in Hudson County in 2012 claiming the state Division of Youth and Family Services failed to safeguard him after he was placed in a foster home in 1996 and, as a result, he suffered sexual, physical, mental and emotional abuse and was exposed to drug and alcohol use and abuse.
$3 million: Natasha Ariel et al. vs. State-operated Newark school district
Natasha Aeriel of Newark and the parents of the deceased Iofemi Hightower, Dashon Harvey and Terrance Aeriel, sued in state Superior Court in Essex County in 2008 claiming the state failed to properly secure and guard the schoolyard at Mount Vernon Elementary School, where Hightower, Harvey and Terrance Aeriel were murdered “execution style” in 2007. Natasha Aeriel was shot in the head but survived.
$3 million: Stephen and Donna Forlenza vs., UMDNJ, et al.
Stephen and Donna Forlenza of Florham Park sued in state Superior Court in Essex County in 2011 claiming Stephen Forlenza became “sick, sore, lame, disabled” and continued to endure pain because of inadequate care at University Hospital, run by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, in 2011.
$2.58 million: Alyssa Powell vs. St. Barnabas Medical Center, et al.
Tina Rene Powell of Fairfield, the mother of Alyssa Powell, sued in state Superior Court in Essex County in 2007 claiming her daughter received inadequate care while at St. Barnabas Medical Center in 1992 and under the care of a resident affiliated with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
$2 million: Jason Cartwright vs. NJ Transit
Jason Cartwright of Willingboro sued in federal court in 2009 claiming NJ Transit created unsafe working conditions that resulted in him sustaining severe back, neck and head injuries while moving machinery in 2007.
*Update: State officials said the Camille N. Campbell settlement was inadvertently included in the 2013 list of settlements. The settlement now appears under 2014.
