No Causation Verdict in Motor Vehicle Accident

Stefanie Capps, of the Ft. Myers office, got a no causation verdict after a five minute jury deliberation in an admitted liability rear end motor vehicle collision where the Plaintiff underwent shoulder surgery, claimed aggravation of a prior lumbar fusion, and new neck injury.

The medical damages in this case were not contested, although causation was.

Aside from credibility issues, it was clear that the jury did not appreciate the Plaintiff taking the stand in rebuttal after Stefanie played surveillance video and claimed that the video was of her daughter and not herself.

However, a quick Google search verified that it was the Plaintiff in the video and not her daughter. Following this, the jury returned a defense verdict on causation.
