Admitted liability motor vehicle accident; jury verdict $63,000

Our client was injured when the defendant rear-ended a truck and then spun into our client who was traveling in the opposite direction. It was a moderate driver’s side impact. Our client was treated four days later with her primary care doctor, and then went to a chiropractor for back pain. She went to an orthopedist twice for pain in her foot. She had physical therapy shortly after the accident to her left arm because she hurt her left elbow. The defendant’s insurance company argued that our client’s back problems were preexisting and were not made worse by the accident. There were $13,000 in medical bills. The jury awarded the entire $13,000 in medical bills and another $50,000 for noneconomic damages for a total verdict of $63,000.
