Upstate Hasidic woman wins $5 million settlement for truck crash 

This dough could buy a lot of matzo balls.

An upstate Hasidic woman won a whopping $5 million legal settlement ina lawsuit over a Sept. 11, 2007, crash with a Brooklyn kosher-meat delivery truck in which she was seriously injured.

Eva Bickel, 50, suffered a brain injury and broken bones when the truck crossed yellow lines on a Monroe, N.Y., road and collided head-on with the livery cab she was in, according to her suit.

"[The driver] definitely wasn't acting very kosher," Bickel's lawyer, Herb Subin, said yesterday.

The married mother of three children underwent four surgeries and spent more than six weeks in a hospital and nursing home.

The case had already gone to trial in Brooklyn Supreme Court when the truck company, Alle Processing Corp., settled on Tuesday.

"This woman needs a lifetime of future care and the pain and suffering was substantial," Subin said.
