Shulman & Hill
The Case
The plaintiff was a passenger in a motor vehicle that was struck in the rear. He sustained three fractured ribs and injuries to the shoulder and lumbar spine.
The Challenge
The defense attempted to minimize the value of the case by characterizing the plaintiff's arthroscopic shoulder surgery as a minimally invasive procedure, downplaying the severity of his injuries.
The Result
Plaintiff's counsel secured summary judgment on liability, establishing the defendant's fault for the rear-end collision and thereafter negotiated settlement of the within matter.
Any results set forth herein are based upon the facts of that particular case and do not represent a promise or guarantee.
