Congratulations Christopher J. Brill of Newton, Pennsylvania for your victory in the Ashley McKean case. Back in 2011, Ms. McKean a then Temple University student was riding her bicycle when she was involved in a horrific crash. The incident happened at the corner of Broad and Brandywine streets in Philadelphia when she was doored by a Honda Accord and then subsequently struck and run over by a van. According to the filing she suffered multiple hip, pelvis, and leg fractures…many causing permanent damage and injury.
Thanks to the work of Attorney Christopher Brill, a jury awarded her $2.4 Million in damages. The jury found both the driver of the Honda and the Van at fault for the accident. The driver of the van is the owner of MCT Transportation who testified at trial that McKean “should have been riding on the sidewalk”, which as it turns out is against the law. Ashley received $880,000 for future medical expenses, $1.334 million for pain and suffering and $200,000 for disfigurement. The trial lasted only 6 days.
According to the jury verdict, there was one attorney for the plaintiff (Mr. Brill) and 5 attorneys for the defense. The jury’s decision was rendered on June 4th, 2014. Thank you Christopher Brill for helping Ashley get her life back together and for advocating for us all.
