A car driven by a fifty-year-old real estate sales agent was rear-ended by another car at a relatively low rate of speed. Nevertheless, the woman experienced severe lower back pain, which radiated into her lower extremities and interfered with her ability to walk. Despite surgical intervention, she continued to suffer from the same symptoms. We worked with the woman’s surgeon and rehabilitative medicine physician to establish the fact that her symptomology was indeed related to the auto accident, because the impact caused an aggravation to an underlying arthritic low back condition. We also retained a medical specialist to analyze her post-surgical ability to walk, who rendered the opinion that she was unable to return to her prior sales agent profession. As a result of our successfully working with our expert witnesses, we were able to obtain a very sizeable settlement for this client.
