- Case type: Car accident
- Location: US 79 in Haughton, LA
- Injuries: Herniated discs, central stenosis, neck/back/knee/abdominal pain
Case Description
The client was stopped on US 79 when a distracted driver failed to notice the stopped traffic and struck the client from behind. The collision caused serious spinal complications, including bilateral foraminal stenosis.
Legal Strategy
We relied on depositions and medical testimony to show the clear link between the crash and the client's acute pain and disc herniations.
Challenges
The defense attempted to use the client’s weight against them, claiming the health issues were caused by obesity rather than the accident. We successfully countered this by showing the client was asymptomatic prior to the wreck.
Resolution
Settled via mediation for $826,000.
