Jury Returns a Verdict of $141,000 for On The Job Car Accident

Settlement/Verdict: $141,000.00

Attorney: Cory P. Whalen
Practice Area: Car Accident
Client Injury: Aggravation of Prior Injury

Our client was injured in a motor vehicle accident that occurred during the course and scope of his employment. The client had experienced past stiffness and pain in his neck at various times in his life. Following this accident, he suffered a significant aggravation of a pre-existing cervical neck condition. The accident brought about the need for extensive medical treatment and eventually, a surgical procedure on his neck. The doctor that was retained by the insurance company even agreed with the treating surgeon as to the cause of the aggravation of the pre-existing cervical condition. Despite the opinions of the treating medical doctor and insurance company doctor, the insurance company offered only a few thousand dollars to resolve the case. The offer was promptly rejected and Cory Whalen tried the case before a jury. The Hennepin County jury returned a verdict in the amount of $141,000 in favor of the injury victim.
