Lee Solomon, a former state superior judge, county and federal prosecutor, county freeholder and state assemblyman, sustained life-threatening injuries from a biking injury near Lenape High School in Medford, New Jersey, on September 13, 2009.
With two, separate injuries to his brain and a hip fracture, he spent the next three weeks in Cooper’s Trauma Center and then returned to Cooper recently for hip replacement surgery.
Now, a year later, he is back to his demanding career as President of the Board of Public Utilities for the state, and spending time with family – thankful for life. Here, he recounts the accident and shares his experience with Steven E. Ross, MD, and Tara N. Cassidy-Smith, MD.
