Spine Surgery Case Settled for $1 Million
N/AOUTCOME: $1 Million Settlement
Mark W. Clark was retained as co-counsel to work with a local attorney in a complex Federal Court motor vehicle accident case in which the defendant initially denied liability for the accident. Be ... cause the defendant steadfastly denied responsibility for causing the accident, the case required an extensive accident reconstruction to establish fault. Following the accident, the Plaintiff was treated for injuries to his cervical and lumbar spine for which he underwent spinal surgery. The defendant vigorously contested the extent of Plaintiff’s injuries and hired a neurosurgeon that testified the surgeries Plaintiff underwent were unrelated to the accident in question. The cause was litigated extensively in Federal Court with the U.S. Attorney. However, after the Plaintiff’s accident reconstructionist and medical experts testified, the defendant ultimately accepted responsibility and agreed to settle the case for one million dollars ($1,000,000.00).
