Motor Vehicle Accident - $1.5 Million Jury Verdict
On April 27, 2011 Tom Oliva obtained a verdict in Bronx Supreme Court in the amount of $1,500,000 for a fifty year old women whose car was rear ended while she was on her way to work as a school lunch aide. After several months of painful therapy including trigger point injections on multiple occasions, she opted to have surgery. Our client underwent anterior cervical discectomy with cervical fusion at C5-C6 of her cervical vertebrae. This treated only one of the three herniations she sustained. She remains with two herniated vertebrae, pain, disability and restriction of the range of motion in her neck, which is permanent. Our client has, however, returned to work in order to try and obtain her pension, to which she is entitled after five more years.
