What Happened?
In August 2024, Beverly was driving in the far-left lane of the Gowanus Expressway near 27th Street in Brooklyn, New York, from Manhattan toward Brooklyn, when her car broke down. She activated her hazard lights, slowed down, and pulled onto the shoulder of the freeway. Beverly later learned that her car had stopped because of a problem with a belt in the engine, which was unforeseeable.
She remained in her car while a tow truck with its emergency lights activated pulled ahead of her and stopped in the left lane to assist. Several minutes after the tow truck arrived, Beverly was sitting in her car when she was struck from behind by a commercial pickup truck towing a trailer, without warning. Beverly was taken by ambulance to a Brooklyn hospital, where she was evaluated, treated, and released.
As a result of the crash, Beverly suffered injuries to her neck, back, right shoulder, and right knee. She experienced constant, severe pain and had difficulty standing, sitting, bending, and lifting. When months of conservative treatment failed to provide relief, Beverly underwent pain management injections, a lumbar spine discectomy in January 2025, right shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in April 2025, and lumbar spine fusion in September 2025.
