- **Case Type: Rear-end car wreck**
- **Location: Bossier City**
- **Injuries:** Aggravation of pre-existing Chiari malformation, which required a posterior craniotomy 

## Case Description:

The at-fault Defendant rear-ended our client, causing aggravation of a pre-existing chiari malformation (structural cerebellum malformation). The client required a craniotomy as part of their medical treatment.

## Legal Strategy:

We had to prove, through expert medical testimony, that the pre-existing chiari malformation was indeed aggravated by the collision.

## Challenges:

The defendant produced an adverse expert medical opinion that the wreck did not cause the injury aggravation. After a four-hour deposition of the defense medical expert, the defendant’s expert eventually agreed to the plaintiff's position on how the injury and symptoms were caused.

## Resolution:

Mediated settlement of $2M with primary insurance carrier as well as additional $2M from excess insurance carrier.
