That was a case where my client was rear ended out on 400 here in Atlanta and it was another where initially they just said he wasn’t as hurt as he said he was. He was an older gentleman so he had some degenerative conditions in his back and his neck and the insurance company and the other party at the beginning said you know we really just don’t feel like he was that hurt everything was pre-existing. We ended up litigating the process and as it seems to happen to me a lot, I guess, we settled a couple weeks before trial by being able to show that the injuries were in fact related to the wreck. And even if the underlying injury wasn’t related to the wreck the pain and suffering that my client experienced as a result of the wreck is what ultimately led to his treatment and surgery that he had to get.
So we kind of looked at it that way not necessarily trying to prove that the underlying injuries were caused as a result of the wreck because he was an older gentleman there was no question he had some degenerative conditions. But we were able to show and convince the insurance company that the wreck caused him to be in significant pain. The pain is what ultimately necessitated him going to the doctor therefor the doctor bills including the surgery from that cases were what led to the large recovery.

Marietta, GA personal injury attorney Michael R. Braun talks about a specific case he worked on that stands out as a large verdict in his career. He explains that in this particular case, my client was rear-ended on Highway 400 here in Atlanta. Initially, the opposing party and their insurance company disputed the extent of my client’s injuries, claiming that his pre-existing degenerative conditions in his back and neck were the primary cause of his pain. However, we proceeded with litigation to prove otherwise.
As it often happens in my experience, we reached a settlement a couple of weeks before the trial by demonstrating that the injuries were indeed a direct result of the accident. Even if the underlying conditions existed prior to the collision, we focused on highlighting the significant pain and suffering my client endured as a direct consequence of the accident. It was this pain that prompted him to seek medical treatment, including necessary surgery.
By presenting this argument, we were able to convince the insurance company that the accident had a substantial impact on my client’s well-being. Consequently, the medical expenses, including the cost of the surgery, became the basis for a significant recovery in the case.
