$425,000 settlement for a driver that was rear-ended by a truck. The driver of the truck was arrested for DWI and we used that criminal charge to move for summary judgment on liability, which was granted, creating a 9% annual interest rate from the date of the decision until the damages trial would begin. The plaintiff had suffered a partial supraspinatus tear in his right shoulder that required injections and a shoulder arthroscopy, as well as a cervical discectomy at C5-6 with a Stryker titanium cage installation. The negatives of the case where the client’s history, which involved a very bad prior accident, a criminal history that might affect a jury’s opinion, and a very small amount of property damage, indicating that the impact of the collision was low, and the client might have underwent an unnecessary surgery.
