Proven verdicts and settlements

$15.6 millionVerdict

A Middlesex County jury awarded $39 million on February 1, 2019 to Hussein Agiz, who was 18 when a drag racing car struck his motorcycle inside the Heller Industrial Parks complex in Edison, costing him his right arm and right leg. Jurors had earlier found Heller 40 percent at fault for tolerating years of documented drag racing on its property. Under New Jersey law Heller owed its 40 percent share, about $15.6 million, and the case later settled on appeal for an undisclosed amount.
