A husband and wife were injured in a car accident involving two vehicles. The defendant pulled out into our client’s right of way, which caused a side-impact collision. Our clients both injured their backs and necks in the accident.
MRD attorneys represented husband and wife from neck and back injuries sustained in a car accident.
The insurance company defense attorneys argued that our clients were at fault in causing the accident, claiming that our clients were driving speeding. Defense attorneys further argued that our clients injuries were not extensive, despite thousands of dollars in medical expenses and extensive medical treatments.
MRD attorneys gathered valuable data regarding the nature of the accident.
Throughout the litigation, MRD attorneys conducted discovery and prepared the case for trial beginning from day one.
MRD attorneys filed the case before the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge.
MRD attorneys tried the case before a twelve person jury for five days, reaching a successful verdict.
On motion for directed verdict, the trial judge dismissed defense counsel’s comparative fault argument claiming that our client was speeding at the time of the accident. The judge noted that defendants presented no evidence of speeding. The jury further rejected defense counsel’s arguments concerning the nature and severity of our clients’ injuries, awarding over $1 million in total damages for both clients.
