Case Details
Client, a non-seat belted passenger, sustained scarring and a comminuted distal radius fracture. After a 5-day trial, firm established injuries would have occurred regardless of seatbelt. Verdict reduced to $805,000.00 due to comparative negligence. Post-trial motion to set aside verdict opposed and won.
Additional Notes
Our client was a non-seat belted passenger in a vehicle driven by her husband. She sustained significant scarring and a comminuted distal radius fracture for which he underwent surgery that included hardware. Defendant’s argued that had our client been wearing her seatbelt her injuries would not have occurred. After a 5 day trial, our firm was able to establish through the biomechanical engineer, accident reconstructionist, and two orthopedics that our firm hired on behalf of the client that her injuries would have occurred whether she was wearing her seatbelt or not because of the airbag deployment. The verdict was reduced to $805,000.00 due to the jury finding our client’s comparative negligence. Defendants made a post-trial inconsistent verdict motion to set aside the verdict, which our office opposed and won.
