GMR Senior Associate Tom Giardina won a Philadelphia County jury trial in which Plaintiff sued, alleging ongoing injuries related to a T-bone collision. Plaintiff, who was only 25 years old at the time of the accident, alleged sustaining lower back disc herniations with radiculopathy per medical testing. The defense argued that the objective testing only showed degenerative conditions unrelated to the accident at issue. Plaintiff’s counsel argued that Plaintiff had never previously sustained injuries to his back, making his treatment and injuries causally related to the accident. Ultimately, the jury concluded that Plaintiff did not meet his burden of proof.
