Reply to comment by EyesOnImprovement in Jersey City mayor, gov remain mum on hit-and-run councilwoman, even after guilty plea by HobokenJ

Are you saying that the cyclist’s civil suit against the city does have merit? Don’t get me wrong- I’m anti-Degise, but I don’t see how that makes sense.

The only loser in that scenario would be taxpayers, who would ultimately foot the bill for any settlement paid out by the city.

His lawsuit against Degise personally makes a lot more sense.

I wonder who is paying his legal fees because he obviously has no money. None!

I don’t know about this particular case, but some personal injury lawyers work on a contingent fee basis. Which basically means you don’t pay them anything until you get a settlement.
