Confidential: Plaintiff v. Defendant

October 2016, Plaintiff and his girlfriend were driving to their date at the movie theater near Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. At the same time, the Defendant was looking for her friends in the same area but was lost. Defendant made an erratic and unsafe lane change directly into the Plaintiff's vehicle causing both vehicles to be deemed a total loss. From 2016 through 2021, Plaintiff underwent continued medical treatment including chiropractic care, MRIs, physical therapy, epidural injections to his spine and, ultimately, minimally invasive spine surgery. The case was set for trial in Van Nuys, CA. After jury selection and the day of opening statements the judge declared a mistrial due to COVID protocol. The case was re-set for trial two weeks later but settled the day before jury selection. Defendant's insurance company paid 50% over their policy limits to resolve. Due to the confidentiality agreement, no additional information can be provided.
