Personal Injury

David represented a 57 year old truck driver who was hit head on while driving his family on a secondary road. He had suffered from shoulder problems before the wreck with rotator cuff surgery some years before. He had been back to the doctor with a shoulder strain and sprain before the wreck. He went to the hospital and then to his orthopedic surgeon who advised him that he had torn the rotator cuff again as a result of this wreck.

Personal Injury

David tried a case in Campbell County where State Farm made no offer of settlement at all. The plaintiff was a very nice 78 year old lady who was rear ended, with moderate impact, by a likeable female defendant who simply made a minor mistake. The plaintiff went to the ER the next day with neck pain and was diagnosed with cervical strain. She then was seen over the next 2-3 months by her primary and PT for neck pain, and discharged as improved, not cured. Three months later she goes to her primary doctor with increased neck pain and is referred to Ortho. Ortho treats her over the next 2 years with a series of PT, neck injections, and nerve burns. No long lasting relief is gained.

Personal Injury

The first case involved a 70+ aged male who was rear ended in a slow speed accident with minor body damage to the vehicles. Because of his age, this impact aggravated the preexisting arthritic condition in his hip and spine. Those age related problems did not cause him much trouble before this accident, but got worse after the wreck requiring medical treatment and physical therapy.

Personal Injury

The second General District Court case was a young lady who suffered neck and back injuries from a side impact when a driver failed to yield the right of way and slammed into her passenger side. The client had to endure hospital, orthopedic, and physical therapy treatments. When that was not successful, she underwent steroidal spine injections, not a pleasant procedure.

Personal Injury

David represented a city waterworks employee who was sitting in her pickup truck on a city street doing her paperwork when a negligent driver lost control of of his vehicle and slammed into her head on with great impact. She was in her 60’s at the time. Injuries to her back eventually got better but she had lingering problems with her hand/wrist that make it difficult to open heavy manhole covers or lift meters or other equipment.
