Woman Critically Injured by an 18-Wheeler

Our client had a torn rotator cuff tear that led to surgery, had a double disk fusion and a disk replacement (two surgeries), was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia (which are really bad headaches), and had approximately $359,000 in medical bills. We had expert medical testimony that she would need expensive shots going forward to treat her headaches. The defense originally offered a settlement of $170,000 during mediation. The jury was out about 2.5 hours before awarding our client $1 million for pain and suffering, and $500,000 in economic losses.
