Schneider vs State Farm Mutual Insurance Company
May 12, 2016OUTCOME: Jury Trial > Awarded $7.25 Million to Plaintiff
Our client, only 9 years old at the time of the injury, suffered a severe left-sided brachial plexus injury. At the time of trial, 12 years later, his left arm still looked like it had when he was 9 ye ... ars old. He has had no sensation or feeling in the arm since the moment of the injury. Our client had to go through 7 surgeries in the years following the injury. At one point, he asked the surgeon if he could just remove the left arm. The surgeon refused and eventually, they took a muscle out of the client’s leg and inserted into his arm in order to get some range of motion. At the time of trial, our client had endured 12 years of pain, suffering, disability and disfigurement. The accident occurred in a rural county where my client’s father had taken him to train for bicycle racing. Both of our client’s parents were professional bicycle racers. Both of our client’s sisters, one younger and one older, are now professional bicycle racers, competing all over the world. At the time of the incident, our client had failed to stop for a stop sign, while making a right hand turn. The defendant was coming in the opposite direction in her pickup truck. Our client was adamant that he remained in his lane of travel, while the defendant claimed that our client took a wide turn, crossed the centerline, and collided with the defendant’s vehicle in the opposite lane of travel.The jury believed our client’s version of what happened that day. They found the defendant 60% at fault for causing the collision, our client 10% and our client’s father 30%. The parties stipulated to past medical bills of $258,000.00. The jury awarded $2 million dollars in past pain, suffering, disability and disfigurement, over the last 12 years, which is the exact amount we had asked them to award. We asked for $3 million in future pain, suffering, disability and disfigurement, but invited the jury to award more. They awarded $5 million. The total pain, suffering, disability and disfigurement, award to our client will be reduced by 10% for our client’s negligence. At mediation we had demanded the defendant’s insurance policy limits of $1,250,000. We were told that the defendant’s insurance carrier, State Farm, may be willing to pay $15,000 and possibly a little more. We left the mediation and filed a formal offer of settlement for $750,000, well within the policy limits. There were no offers from State Farm before or during trial.
