Stefanie Capps and Ken Oliver, of the Ft. Myers/Naples office, obtained a complete defense verdict in an automobile negligence case involving a rear-end collision. Although the defense admitted liability, they denied causation of Plaintiff’s alleged damages. Plaintiff was claiming over $550,000.00 in past medical expenses for multiple past neck surgeries and asked the jury to award approximately $4 million in damages. Ken and Stefanie masterfully pieced together medical records to point out discrepancies that contradicted Plaintiff’s claim that he had no prior back or neck pain, when, in reality, he had given at least 4 different histories to different treating providers of neck and back pain related to either at least one or more prior car accidents in the past. After a hard fought, 3-day trial, the jury returned a total defense verdict, finding no causation of Plaintiff’s alleged damages. Adding to the victory, Plaintiff had rejected the defense proposal for settlement, which should entitle Defendant to attorney’s fees and costs.
