Cranbury Farm Avoids Eminent Domain for Affordable Housing

Under an agreement with Cranbury Township officials and Fair Share Housing, the Henry Family Farm in Cranbury will be preserved while the township explores alternative sites to fulfill its affordable housing mandate. More good news is that the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, specifically the State Agriculture Development Committee, is working with the Henry Family to permanently preserve the family farm. The Henry Family Farm has been in a legal battle with Cranbury, New Jersey, which, in May, unanimously passed an ordinance allowing the township to use Eminent Domain to seize the local 21-acre farm to build 130 affordable housing units. The property is owned by Henry Realty Company, run by brothers Andy and Chris, and has been in the Henry family since the 1850s.

Taylor McFarland, NJ Sierra Club Conservation Program Manager, released the following statement:

“In a win for farmland protection and preservation, Henry Family Farm has avoided eminent domain for affordable housing. We thank Governor Murphy and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture for stepping up to protect prime farmland. However, the Henry Family should never have been in this situation. For decades, the family has rejected various offers from housing developers and warehouse developers because they care about preserving farmland in New Jersey. Cranbury Township should never have resorted to using eminent domain to build affordable housing when safer alternatives were available.

“New Jersey is one of the most densely populated and overdeveloped states in the country, and may be the first in the nation to reach full buildout. The Cranbury Farm case should serve as an example of what not to do when fulfilling affordable housing mandates. It should be a lesson to both local and state governments that improvements are needed to meet affordable housing requirements without sacrificing green spaces and farmland. Towns need more resources and guidance on implementing smart growth in their communities. This means financial incentives and grants for things like brownfield and redevelopment projects, and safe pedestrian infrastructure that reduces sprawl, conserves local habitat, and improves the health of their communities.”

South Jersey Families Can’t Afford Higher Healthcare Costs

Since October 1, the federal government has been shut down, and Speaker Mike Johnson hasn’t called Congress back into session since. That means critical services are disrupted and public servants are working without pay.

Now, families across South Jersey are beginning to receive notices of soaring healthcare premiums. This is because cost-saving healthcare tax credits will expire in December. In our congressional district, 24,000 people will see their healthcare costs rise if Congress does not act now.

Last week, I asked people in our district if they’ve received notices that their premiums are going up. Nearly half said yes. Of those:

63% of families said their monthly costs are increasing by more than $100 per month
25% of families are seeing increases of more than $500 per month
And some are seeing increases of more than $1,000 per month

That’s outrageous. Families shouldn’t have to choose between paying for healthcare and putting food on the table. If Republicans don’t come back to Washington and get to work, working families pay the price.

I’m ready to work with anyone, Republican or Democrat, to reopen the government and lower healthcare costs.

Even during this shutdown, my office is open and ready to help you. Please visit the government shutdown resources webpage on my website for more information.

Damages You Can Claim if You Were Injured in a DUI Accident

Being injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s reckless behavior can leave you facing physical pain, emotional trauma, and unexpected financial burdens. Beyond the immediate recovery, victims often struggle with medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care costs, all of which can quickly add up and disrupt daily life.

If you’ve been hurt in a DUI accident, you have the legal right to pursue compensation for the losses you’ve suffered. The law allows victims to claim various types of damages, covering both the tangible and intangible impact of the crash. Understanding these potential damages can help you recover the financial support you need while holding the negligent driver accountable.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are the financial losses that result directly from the DUI accident. These damages are tangible and can usually be documented with receipts, bills, or pay records. They are intended to restore your financial situation to what it would have been if the accident hadn’t occurred.

Types of Economic Damages

Medical Expenses: Includes hospital bills, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and future medical care.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Hospital and pharmacy bills, medical reports, doctor’s prescriptions, and invoices for rehabilitation or therapy sessions.

Lost Wages: Covers income lost during recovery and compensation for reduced earning capacity if injuries affect your ability to work.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Pay stubs, employment records, tax returns, and a statement from your employer verifying lost income or workdays missed.

Property Damage: Involves repair or replacement of your vehicle and other personal property damaged in the accident.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Vehicle repair estimates, mechanic invoices, photos of the damage, and insurance claim documents.

Other Out-of-Pocket Costs: Includes transportation for medical visits, home care, and other accident-related expenses.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Receipts for transportation, invoices for home assistance, and documentation of related purchases.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are meant to compensate for the intangible impacts of the accident, such as emotional suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and psychological distress. These damages are more subjective but are a vital part of ensuring fair compensation.

Types of Non-Economic Damages

Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and discomfort caused by injuries.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Medical evaluations, pain journals, and expert testimony from doctors or therapists.

Emotional Distress: Covers anxiety, depression, and trauma resulting from the accident.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Psychological assessments, therapy session records, and statements from mental health professionals.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Addresses limitations in hobbies, leisure, or daily activities due to injuries.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Personal statements, testimony from family or friends, and records showing lifestyle changes after the accident.

Punitive Damages

Additional compensation intended to punish the at-fault driver for reckless behavior like DUI is often awarded in severe cases.

Evidence Needed to Prove: Police reports, toxicology results, and court findings proving the driver’s intoxication and recklessness.

Factors That Affect Your Compensation

Several factors determine the total damages you may claim:

Severity of injuries: More serious injuries usually lead to higher compensation.
Proof of negligence: Clear evidence that the driver was intoxicated strengthens your claim.
Impact on daily life: If your injuries affect your ability to work, care for family, or participate in daily activities, damages may increase.
Insurance coverage: The at-fault driver’s insurance limits can influence the compensation amount.

Steps to Maximize Your Damages

Seek immediate medical attention to document injuries.
Collect evidence like photos, police reports, and witness statements.
Keep records of all expenses, including medical bills and lost wages.
Consult a personal injury attorney experienced in DUI cases.

Being injured in a DUI accident can have life-altering effects, but knowing your rights ensures you can claim the compensation you deserve.

Key Takeaways

Victims of DUI accidents are entitled to claim compensation for both financial and emotional losses.
Economic damages: medical costs, lost wages, and property damage, proven through bills and records.
Non-economic damages: pain, emotional distress, and loss of life’s enjoyment.
Punitive damages punish the drunk driver’s reckless actions in severe DUI cases.
Timely medical care, solid evidence, and legal support help maximize your compensation.
