Case Details
Jury verdict secured by Rick Steinmetz for a client ('JB') injured in a car accident in Charles County, MD. The client, a passenger, suffered neck, back, and knee injuries after the defendant failed to slow down or stop in heavy traffic. The defense argued pre-existing conditions and offered a $20,000 settlement, which was rejected.
Additional Notes
The case was complicated by the client's pre-existing conditions and a total knee replacement surgery a few months before trial. The client's doctor testified that the trauma accelerated arthritic problems, necessitating earlier surgery. The jury returned a verdict of $200,000 after less than an hour of deliberation.
