The client suffered a shoulder injury as a result of th ... e wreck. A Jefferson County jury returned a verdict in the amount of $58,539.95, in favor of the client. The wreck happened on a six-lane stretch of Interstate 65 in Birmingham on December 29, 2011. The defendant driver hit the client's car from the rear, which caused it to slam into the side of an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer. The client suffered a rotator cuff tear of the right shoulder and underwent arthroscopic surgery. He then had several months of physical therapy. The amount of the verdict reflects the same amount as the total of medical expenses, although all but approximately $2,000 in physical therapy costs were covered by our client's health insurance. The lawyers for the other driver argued that he was not at fault for the wreck and that our client did not suffer a permanent impairment.
