Client retained Harris Personal Injury Lawyers in the Spring of 2007. She had been involved in a rear end motor vehicle collision 2 1/2 months earlier. The insurance company for the defendant argued that the client was not entitled to any medical treatment and could not have been injured in such a small collision.

The insurance company took this position on the client's bodily injury claim, despite the fact that she suffered from a persisting neck injury. Attorneys Ryan Harris and Ryan Sargent tried the case in February 2010. Prior to trial, the insurance company had only offered $7,500 to settle the case.

Following a 4 day trial, the jury returned a $32,000 verdict, with $12,000 awarded for past medical expenses, $20,000 awarded for pain and suffering. In addition to the jury's $32,000 verdict, the insurance company will also have to pay prevailing party costs, and CCP Section 998 interest and costs, of about $30,000, requiring a total payment of approximately $62,000 to satisfy the judgment.

Sunday February 21, 2010—Early Sunday morning, George M. Reyes was driving his 2006 Lexus eastbound on Avenue S in Palmdale when his car drifted onto the right shoulder.

According to authorities, Reyes veered back to the left and lost control of his vehicle. The Lexus crossed the median and overturned, sliding across westbound lanes, when it came to a stop on its roof.

20 year-old Michelle Garcia of Escondido, Reyes passenger, was ejected from the car and died at the scene. She was not wearing a seat belt.

George Reyes was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving immediately following his treatment for major and moderate injuries.

Drunk driving fatalities accounted for 32% of all traffic deaths in 2008, that is, on average someone is killed in an alcohol-impaired driving crash every 45 minutes in the United States (Source: NHTSA/FARS, 2009).

The Harris Personal Injury Lawyers wish to express our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the friends and family of Michelle Garcia.

Client retained the Law Offices of Ryan Harris in the summer of 2006. She had been involved in a motor vehicle collision a month earlier.

The case went to trial in November 2008. Prior to trial, the insurance company had only offered $1,500 to settle the case. Following a 3 1/2 day trial, the jury returned a $29,000 verdict, with $14,000 awarded for past medical expenses, $7,500 awarded for future medical expenses, $3,500 awarded for past pain and suffering, and $3,500 awarded for future pain and suffering.
