Sean McDonough (Partner-Tampa) and Eric Neiberger (Of Counsel-Orlando) secured a favorable verdict in Duval County Circuit Court in Jacksonville, Florida, convincing the jury that the plaintiff did not sustain a permanent injury and was not entitled to damages for pain and suffering following a minimal-impact motor vehicle accident. The plaintiff alleged that the accident caused herniated discs in his neck and back, leading to injections, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and a $3.2 million life-care plan. Wilson Elser conceded negligence and past medical expenses on behalf of the client, and the jury awarded approximately $113,000 in past and future medical expenses – well below the client's proposal for settlement served more than two months before trial.  As a result, Wilson Elser is moving for fees and costs and will be seeking an award of fees and costs that exceeds plaintiff’s verdict.
