Blake R. David and Reed K. Ellis negotiate $4,000,000 settlement during trial for a personal injury car accident case with limited property damage

A 51-year-old hotel manager was driving to work in when she stopped at a red right and was rear-ended by a company F-150 pickup truck. The defendants accepted liability but disputed the medical causation of the personal injury claims based on the lack of significant property damage. To support their case, the defendants hired two accident reconstructionist and a biomechanical expert.

Broussard, David & Moroux personal injury attorneys, Blake David and Reed Ellis represented the plaintiff. Prior to the car accident, she had no history of back, neck, or hip issues or treatment in the past 15 years, and experienced neck, back, left wrist, mid-back, and jaw pain within hours of the crash. Dr. Robert Lejeune, a chiropractor, documented these injuries.

Over time, her condition worsened, requiring multiple surgeries on her neck, back, and hip. In response, the defendants hired four Additional Medical Examiners to challenge her claims, arguing that the injuries were temporary, lasting six weeks or less. The defendants also planned to present radiologists who would refute the injuries.

Before going to trial, the case went to mediation and the defendants did not present an offer close to one million dollars. On the third day of the jury trial, the case settled for $4,000,000.00.  This outcome could not have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our attorneys and team in securing fair compensation for our clients.
