This accident was the result of a rearend collision resulting in the plaintiff receiving an injury to her back. The injuries she suffered greatly diminished her quality of life. She was unable to care for her disabled sister and her relationship with her grandchildren suffered due to the fact that she could no longer interact and play with them.
The Defendant offered $12,500.00 to settle this case. The plaintiff declined the offer. Mediation was scheduled but ultimately cancelled as both attorneys felt it would not yield a positive result.
The case proceeded to trial and was awarded $150,000.00 by the jury.
