Trial
report for this car accident / motor vehicle negligence case
On an early winter morning, the plaintiff's
decedent was walking in her suburban residential neighborhood
in Massachusetts. At approximately 6:00 A.M., a witness recalled
seeing the defendant's vehicle accelerate as it passed him.
The witness was familiar with the vehicle from his routine
early morning walks and - on several prior occasions - motioned
to the driver to slow down. A short time later, the witness
heard a loud crash.
Trial
report for this car accident / motor vehicle negligence case
The plaintiff injured her shoulder in a auto
vehicle incident in which she was rear-ended by the defendant
in Newton, Massachusetts. Diagnostic testing confirmed that
the plaintiff had sustained a partial thickness rotator
cuff tear. The plaintiff underwent a several month
course of physical therapy, which was unsuccessful in managing
her pain. As a result, plaintiff's orthopedic surgeon recommended
surgical repair, and the plaintiff underwent the surgical
procedure. Although the procedure was largely successful,
the plaintiff, an avid tennis player, continues to some residual
pain. The case settled prior to trial.

Car
Accident Resulting in Closed-Head Injury; $150,000.00
The plaintiff, an 11 year old boy, was stuck
by the defendant while riding his bicycle through a residential
neighborhood in Malden. The plaintiff sustained a closed head
injury, and underwent several months of rehabilitation and
occupational therapy. The defendant disputed liability as
both he and a neutral eye-witness were prepared to testify
that the plaintiff turned suddenly to the left and into the
defendant's path of travel. The defendant also disputed that
not all of the plaintiff's neurological injuries were related
to the accident, but rather attributable to a prior cognitive
disability diagnosis. The case settled after one day of mediation.
The plaintiff was a front seat passenger in
a van that was struck by the defendant who had failed to stop
at a stop sign. The plaintiff braced herself for the impact
by placing her hands and feet on the dashboard. The impact
caused the plaintiff to sustain injuries to her left wrist,
a torn LT ligament, and right ankle, a torn retinaculum, both
of which required surgical repair. The defendant disputed
the causal link between the incident and the right ankle injury
because the plaintiff's first ankle treatment was several
months after the accident. The case settled prior to litigation.
