$38,000 – car accident – wrist and aggravated neck injury to victim

Plaintiff was rear-ended by defendant on Mission Boulevard in San Diego. Defendant was driving between 20-30 miles per hour. Plaintiff claims aggravated prior neck injury due to collision

Lawyers’ Closing Arguments

  • Plaintiff’s Contentions: Plaintiff’s neck problems were aggravated by the collision. She also suffered an aggravation of her thumb and wrist, which required an arthroscopic procedure of the hand.
  • Defendant’s Contentions: The plaintiff was not credible. The plaintiff suffered from a strain and sprain that should have healed within three months. Plaintiff’s wrist problems were not caused by the defendant and they were degenerative.

Personal Injuries and Damages

  • Plaintiff claims physical injuries: An aggravation of a neck injury. Degeneration can cause a unique susceptibility to wrist injury. Plaintiff was not symptomatic, despite her degeneration (eggshell plaintiff).

Demands and Offers

  • Plaintiff Request:$100,000.
  • Defendant Offer: $35,000
