Marcia M. LaCour of the Riverside, CA office tried a plaintiff personal injury case to verdict last month. The client, a self-employed tile contractor, was rear-ended in stop and go rush hour traffic in 2006. He had a neck injury that took some days to manifest. He was eventually seen in the Emergency Room and then received physical therapy. His condition did not improve and he was seen for a workup with a neurologist including an MRI and EMG, both of which were negative. Over time the client made a good recovery from his injuries. His total medical costs were $6,380, and his lost earnings were $9,090.
