Litigation Successes

Abigail Fleming had a jury trial involving an minor rear-end automobile collision. Plaintiff's initial care was only reporting neck pain, with multiple neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons evaluating the patient indicating no surgical recommendations to address the complaints. However, Plaintiff claimed she could not work much following the accident and could not drive due to range of motion limitations. She was sent for expert evaluation by another orthopedic surgeon who did not recommend surgery and cleared her for returning to driving and work. After a break in care of over a year, Plaintiff started new complaints for claimed low back pains and foot drop issues.  Plaintiff's retained expert recommended two surgeries and permanent disabilities. Plaintiff requested $400,000+ from the jury. The case was brought before a 12-person jury who returned a defense-value verdict of $50,000.
