A twenty-two year old Marlborough man recently was awarded a verdict of $215,000.00, in addition to receiving another $28,000.00 by way of settlement, after suffering a broken arm in a car accident.

This young man was a passenger in a vehicle, when it was suddenly struck by a U-Haul truck, whose driver tried to make a U-turn on Route 290 in Northborough.

The case had previously gone to mediation where the insurance company’s highest offer was $83,000.00.  The plaintiff will receive interest on the jury award which, combined with the original award, will total $238,000.00.
