$1,300,000: Wagner v. National Casualty Insurance Co.

On August 15, 2017, Mr. Wagner was rear-ended causing serious lumbar spine injuries. However, these injuries were not documented in Mr. Wagner's chiropractic medical records. Because of this minor oversight, the Defense insurance company claimed that Mr. Wagner's lower back was not injured from the collision. As another distraction, Mr. Wagner had a minor parking lot incident in October 2017 that the insurance claimed caused 100% of his lower back pain. After two lumbar spine surgeries, the insurance company refused to reimburse his medical expenses forcing the trial. After a two-week trial in Van Nuys, California the jury awarded $1,135,000. The final award was $1,300,000 due to statutory interest and costs.
