Teen Wins Lawsuit in Auto Accident That Ended Her Volleyball Career

In August 2009, a teen was stopped for traffic when she was rear-ended by another driver. The impact pushed her vehicle into the rear of another automobile. The teen was initially diagnosed with cervical and thoracic sprains. However, within three months, she was experiencing lower back pain and was diagnosed with a lumbar sprain, instability and facet joint syndrome.

The victim filed a personal injury lawsuit. The suit alleges that the defendant was negligent in the operation of her vehicle. The plaintiff claimed that her injuries curtailed her promising volleyball career. A medical expert opined that her thoracic sprain is now chronic, she still has lumbar instability and facet joint syndrome, and her back periodically freezes. Without monthly chiropractic treatment, she is unable to lead an active lifestyle. The lawsuit sough damages of $297,973. The defendant disputed the seriousness of the plaintiff's alleged injuries, arguing that she suffered whiplash and her injuries healed within three weeks of the accident. The jury awarded the plaintiff $88,681.78 in total damages for past and future medical expenses and pain and suffering.
