Our clients, a family, were rear-ended by a teenager rushing to buy a video game. The defense argued that three of the four family members did not require much treatment, and only the mother, who had a 20-year history of back problems, needed the treatment. We hired medical experts that indicated this type of surgery would not be required if not for this occurrence, and she may have lived the rest of her life without such surgery. The settlement was reached three weeks before trial was to commence.
