Jury Verdict in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Case

We represented a 53-year-old woman who was injured in a motor vehicle accident in Fairfax County, Virginia.  Our client's SUV was broad-sided by the driver of a minivan who failed to yield the right-of-way.  The accident was witnessed by a Fairfax County Police Officer who testified that the defendant driver was traveling at 5 mph.  At the accident scene, our client denied injury to the police officer.  She did not seek medical attention for two days.  Ultimately, she was diagnosed with whiplash, injury to her TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) and a traumatic brain injury.

At trial, the defendant driver denied being at fault, and claimed that our client suffered no injuries other than whiplash.  The defendant called two hired experts who had examined our client pursuant to court order.  These hired experts testified that our client did not suffer a traumatic brain injury. Our client's treating physicians testified to the full scope of her injuries.  

After a three-day trial, the jury returned a verdict for $145,000.

Awarded: $145,000
