Tom Norman completed a jury trial in Tazewell County involving a motor vehicle accident in winter snow conditions, where Defendant applied her brakes, unable to stop due to ice. Plaintiff had no repairs performed to her vehicle, as damage was very minor. Plaintiff claimed head pain and headaches as the primary source of the bills, but also had spinal and nerve-related complaints. She underwent specialist care for headaches, including care with a TMJ and facial pain clinic, as well as a specialist headache clinic that ran a number of rounds of testing and in-patient stays at hospitals due to headaches. Plaintiff complained headaches permanently affecting her daily life. The 12-person jury returned a defense-verdict, resulting on Defendant paying zero.
