Andrew Leggette and Shaw M. Ashley recently obtained a favorable verdict for a small business client in a bodily injury matter in Osceola County, Florida. The trial was difficult as the Plaintiff underwent a lumbar fusion and otherwise had no prior treatment history. Despite this, the Defense admitted liability and anchored their trial strategy focusing on the Plaintiff’s degenerative condition causing the need for the fusion.
At the close of the case, the Plaintiff asked the jury for $1.3 million while the Defense suggested that the jury award $40,000, a figure reflective of the Plaintiff’s initial care. Ultimately, the jury returned a verdict of $40,000, nearly $160,000 less than the last pre-suit offer and will further trigger the Defense PFS.
