Another Auto Accident Trial Victory!
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. We have successfully tried several personal injury cases to verdict, both small and large.
