Case Background

On May 25, 2022, Plaintiff Richard Strong filed a Reckless driving accident lawsuit in the Connecticut Superior Court, Hartford Judicial District (Case number: HHD-CV22-6155953-S). Amir Shaikh presided over this case.

Cause

On November 2, 2020, at approximately 5:57 p.m., Richard Strong drove his vehicle westbound on Sullivan Avenue near the intersection with Kennedy Road in South Windsor, Connecticut. At the same time, Carole Worm was driving her vehicle southbound on Kennedy Road and stopped at the stop sign at the intersection. Without checking for oncoming traffic, she turned left and proceeded eastbound onto Sullivan Avenue. She collided violently with the front end of Richard Strong’s vehicle because she failed to look for approaching vehicles. The impact of the reckless driving accident resulted in significant damage and injuries. Carole Worm admitted to the responding police officer that she did not check for westbound traffic before turning. Her negligence in failing to yield the right-of-way directly caused the accident.
