$1.7 Million Recovery for Client Injured in Auto Collision Resulting in
Spinal Fusion
Mark Clark and
Christa L. McCann obtained a $1.7 million recovery for a client who suffered spine injuries
as a result of an automobile collision involving a commercially owned
vehicle. As a result of the client's injuries, the client was required
to undergo a multi-level spinal fusion.After suit was filed against the
defendant driver and the corporate employer, the defendants denied liability
and blamed the client for causing the crash. In addition, the defendants
maintained that the client's injuries were not caused by the accident.
However, Clark and McCann were able to establish through the testimony
of the medical and rehabilitation experts on both sides that the client's
injuries were caused by the subject accident and that these injuries limited
the client's pre-accident employment capabilities.As a result, Clark
and McCann were successful in negotiating a $1.7 million dollar settlement
with the defendants. This settlement will cover the cost of the client's
medical treatment and loss of earning ability, and will compensate the
client for the non-economic damages caused by the accident.
