A $13.9 million verdict awarded to a 42-year old man after suffering injuries when his motorcycle collided with a motor vehicle.
VAN NUYS, Calif., Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wilshire Law Firm trial attorney Jon Teller, and Sutton Shapiro of successfully obtained a $13,973,330 jury verdict after a 42-year-old Los Angeles man, the plaintiff, sustained injuries to his groin and neck, when his motorcycle collided with the defendant who was driving a motor vehicle.
The insurance company initially offered a settlement of only $75,000. Mr. Teller and Mr. Shapiro powerfully advocated on behalf of their client. Their advocacy proved to the jury that the initial settlement offer was not only insufficient but insulting due to the severe injuries sustain.
Wilshire Law Firm fought for the rights of the client. The client's injuries have caused damaging changes in lifestyle, and emotional distress. The defendant was not disputing negligence, but disputed the nature and extent of the plaintiff's injuries.
At the trial, our attorneys Jon Teller and Sutton Shapiro explained to the jury that these types of injuries can be permanent, and the impact can also cause permanent damage to their lives.
According to Attorney Mr. Teller, "the truth always comes out at trial. The Defense did not want to accept the truth before we got to the courtroom. The jury saw the truth of what our client was going through for the past 6 years and what he will have to deal with the rest of his life. The Defendant's position was completely unreasonable and not based on reality."
Wilshire Law Firm has a long and growing track record of successfully advocating on behalf of clients who suffered from motor vehicle accidents and injuries since 2007.
