$1,000,000: Claimant v. Rideshare Company

On January 1, 2018, our client was driving, retired veteran in the armed services who was wounded in battle, was violently rear-ended while at a stop light. Given his ability to endure pain, he tried conservative treatments. Nothing worked. He had a consultation with a spine surgeon who provides his opinions and outcomes to overcome his debilitating lower extremity numbness. After his lower back surgery, he was able to continue working but knew his limitations. The injuries interfered with his ability to raise his younger children how he could before the collision. A year after his initial surgery, the client underwent a second lower back procedure to regain stability in his spine. After the client's deposition, the parties resolved the matter for $985,000.00 bringing his total amount to $1,000,000.00. Due to the confidentiality agreement, no additional information can be provided.
