New Year New Verdict! After a 2-day trial in Charles County, our client received a verdict of $300,000, which was 10x the last offer of $30k from the insurance company! Our client was rear-ended and suffered two herniated discs in her neck, which required fusion surgery.
Rather than rightfully compensate our client, the insurance company vigorously fought us, arguing that our client only suffered minor injuries and the surgery was unrelated to this crash.
The defense clung to photos of the minor damage to my client's vehicle. They did the typical small damages = small injuries routine. Yet, my client never had prior neck injuries or pain. All of her pain and suffering started as a result of this crash. The defense tried to blame several other pre-existing medical issues my client had unrelated to her neck.
Minor impacts can cause major damage, our orthopedic surgeon agreed as did the Judge in this case. The Court rejected the defense's argument that this crash didn't cause her injuries.
We won't back down from a challenge and won't take an offer of less than full compensation. A great day for justice! Another fully compensated client!
