Case Details
The plaintiff, a professional taxidermist, was injured in a life-altering accident due to a teenage girl running a red light while talking on the telephone with her boyfriend. After the accident, the plaintiff was transported to New Hanover Regional Hospital and was diagnosed with a broken right knee cap and a shattered ankle. The plaintiff had to go through several major surgeries to repair both the knee and ankle. The injury resulted in the plaintiff being unable to stand for long periods of time, which resulted in no longer being able to do the only work he had known for three decades. Woody was able to obtain a settlement in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $288,000. The damages were contested, but because the insurance company ultimately changed its opinion as to fault, it was unrepresented.
Additional Notes
