Greenwald v. Bursalyan

VERDICT

Trial
05/11/09 – 05/18/09

Summary

While attempting to exit a parking lot, the defendant rear-ended a vehicle driven by the plaintiff, a certified nurse assistant. The collision occurred at a velocity of between six and 11 miles per hour. The plaintiff allegedly suffered a ruptured disc back injury, job loss, ongoing pain, and the need for medical treatment.

The defendant conceded negligence but asserted that the collision did not cause the injuries claimed by the plaintiff. The plaintiff's extended cab pick-up truck weighed approximately 1,500 pounds more than, and was higher than, the defendant's vehicle, and the plaintiff did not report injuries until the following day.

The jury determined that the plaintiff was entitled to recover $2,311.97.

Outcome

Entitled to recover: 2,311.97
