John represented a Defendant-driver in a motor vehicle accident with minimal vehicle damage. Plaintiff had no shoulder complaints on the date of loss reported to emergency room staff. Much later, Plaintiff reported issues with one shoulder, then the other, leading to four shoulder surgeries. The medical for the shoulder was contested through trial. The defense presented a biomechanical expert to testify that the shoulder injuries were inconsistent with the body movements of the Plaintiff in her vehicle during the accident. The case went to trial before a 12-person jury. The jury came back with ER bills only for the Plaintiff. The jury did not award shoulder surgery care.
