Case Details
Mr. Rosenthal secured a settlement for a client who was driving down Madison Avenue when a Garda armored truck pulled out of a parking lot directly in his path, causing a t-bone collision. Our client had “chronic” back pain prior to the collision and the defense claimed the two-level L4-5 and L5-S1 lumbar spine fusion surgery was not caused by the accident. During trial, we were able to prove through expert testimony by our client’s treating orthopedic surgeon that, despite the pre-existing back pain, the collision was a substantial factor in aggravating the condition to the point that he required surgery. The defense steadily increased its offers during the course of the trial until a settlement was reached.
Additional Notes
Client with pre-existing chronic back pain aggravated by T-bone collision with armored truck, requiring two-level lumbar spine fusion surgery. Settled during trial after expert testimony proved collision was substantial factor.
