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).
