Cervical Injuries
Case: Spalding v Barnett
Verdict: $15,000.00

She went to the emergency room with complaints of neck, back and headaches the following day. She then followed up with her chiropractor with whom she's been treated before. She was ultimately referred to an orthopedic surgeon. The Orthopedic surgeon diagnosed a cervical strain with nerve damage and a fractured vertebra. The defense argued that it was unclear whether these injuries happened in the collision or were there before the collision because she had a long-standing history of treatment with the chiropractor before the collision. She went through physical therapy in addition to chiropractic therapy. She had an MRI and nerve studies as well. She had medical bills of $11,400.00.
Case: Sammy v. Richie
Verdict: $96,000.00 plus $12,000.00 in pre-judgment interest
Description: Our client was in a motor vehicle collision while she was on the job and injured her neck. She had continued problems with her neck and ultimately was referred to an orthopedic surgeon who confirmed a cervical spine injury, which caused limitation in her range of motion and pain.

We asked that Allstate pay her insurance policy limits of $25,000.00. Allstate refused and the case went to trial. Since Allstate had the opportunity to settle the case for their insurance policy limit before and refused to do so, Allstate was required to pay the entire verdict of $96,000.00 even though this exceeded the $25,000.00 insurance limits for their insured. After the trial, we argued to the court that pre-judgment interest should be paid by Allstate for their conduct in this matter and Allstate settled the claim for pre- judgment interest for an additional $12,000.00.

As her condition became progressively worse over the next few days with pain radiating into her left leg, she sought follow up care with a physician who ordered an MRI. The MRI found that she sustained a cervical and lumbar strain, and lumbar herniated disc. She was then referred to an orthopaedic surgeon who ultimately performed surgery on her damaged low back disc. Plaintiff was an avid off-road motorcycle rider (dirt bike rider).

Prior to the purchase, he was told the vehicle had been thoroughly checked and was in good mechanical shape and offered a "bumper to bumper" warranty through C.A.R.S Protection Plus, Inc. for $450.00.

Case: Perich v. Lambert Buick, Inc.
Verdict: $200.00 in statutory damages
Description: Plaintiff traded in her old vehicle as a down payment on the purchase of a used vehicle from the Defendant. She was never told the vehicle was a former rental fleet vehicle. She was lead to believe the vehicle was taken in on trade for a new vehicle. After taking delivery of the vehicle, she found a document in the glove box, which identified the vehicle as a former rental fleet vehicle. She then received a copy of the title to the vehicle after it had been registered in her name and noted that the sales price was listed at $14,044.00. The sales price on the paperwork she signed showed the sale price of the vehicle as being $25,000.00. She did not understand why the title would show a sales price of $14,000.00 but the paperwork at the dealership show a sales price of $25,000.00. Discrepancies over the sales price and the paperwork relative to it being a former rental vehicle, prompted her to request the dealership take the vehicle back and return her other vehicle. The dealership refused. In trial the jury the found that the Defendant Lambert Buick Inc. violated the Consumer Sales Practice Act by failing to disclose that the vehicle they sold to the Plaintiff was indeed a former rental fleet car. Ohio law requires a dealership to disclose prior to the sale to a con- sumer the fact that a vehicle was a former rental vehicle. The juror's finding brought a finding by the court of statutory violations under the law.
Case: Smith v. Millennium Auto Sales
Judgment: $30,215.55

When the vehicle developed serious engine problems, Defendants refused to make repairs even though the Plaintiffs were still making payments. Plaintiff's requested a refund; Defendants refused but instead only offered the option of purchasing another vehicle and receiving credit for amounts paid and proceeds from the sale of the Ford at a salvage auction. Defendants wrote up a new contract for the purchase of a Mercury Sable then repossessed it ten days later alleging failure to make payment, even though Plaintiffs were current on their payments. At that point, the Plaintiffs had paid $2,965.00 toward the Ford. The total cash price for the Mercury was $2,300.00, $665.00 less than Plaintiffs had already paid.

The verdicts and judgments above are public record. In the vast majority of cases, the parties are able to reach a settlement before a case culminates in a verdict or judgment. In our experience cases have settled everywhere from prior to lawsuits being filed to moments before a jury returns a verdict. The terms of these settlements are typically not public record, and as such, we do not publicly divulge this information.
