Couple rear-ended while waiting to exit a parking lot

Amount: $202,950
Court: Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court
Plaintiff’s Counsel: Joshua D. Payne & Jordan D. Lebovitz

We represented a young husband and wife who were rear-ended while waiting to exit a parking lot. Although the wife suffered sprains and a concussion, the husband had a previously undiagnosed condition that left him more susceptible to injury and suffered a herniated disc and injury to his lumbar spine significantly impairing his daily activities and his ability to help look after his young son. The defense disputed that these were related to the collision, instead arguing that the conditions in his spine were entirely pre-existing despite his lack of any prior symptoms. Defense made a top offer pre-suit of $3,000, a fraction of the medical bills, and after over a year of litigation their top offer before trial was only $62,392. The case was tried in Cuyahoga County over three days with the jury coming back with a verdict of $202, 950.57.
