When a man was rear ended by a vehicle, Douglas Miley of The Miley Legal Group in West Virginia had to prove that the injuries his client sustained to the spine were directly caused by the actions of the Defendant and not by any pre-existing spinal conditions or his type of employment. The colorized MRIs our artists created proved liability, resulting in a $395K verdict on a $9.9K offer.
Challenge
The injuries the Plaintiff suffered after the crash were a herniated cervical disc and a herniated thoracic disc, yet the Defense disputed damages. The Plaintiff had a degenerative disc disease in other parts of the spine and is a construction worker, however multiple MRIs were performed showing damage done to the spine over the years since the incident. Despite there being no correlation between the client’s disease and his work, the Defense denied liability for the herniations.
