LOS ANGELES AUTO ACCIDENT

Kenneth was riding as a passenger in a minivan in Los Angeles. The minivan was broadsided in the intersection of 28th Street and Pico Blvd. by a car driven by the defendant. After the accident Kenneth underwent surgery. Kenneth sued the defendant for motor vehicle negligence based on failure to yield the right of way. Defense orthopedic surgery expert disputed whether the surgery resulted from the accident. He testified that Kenneth had a history of similar subjective chronic pain related to a prior workers’ compensation injury.

Even if one had a prior injury can they still get money for injuries caused or worsened by a car accident? Yes, if the accident is what caused the injuries or is what worsened the injuries, then the defendant is liable to pay the medical costs, pain and suffering, and in some cases loss of income.

The jury returned a verdict and awarded Kenneth $18,791.80 for the injuries sustained in the car accident despite having a previous back injuries.
