Jury Awards Plaintiff $1.175 Million for Car Accident victim
Trial Attorney Andre P. Gauthier thought he was having a bad day in court when the Jury came back with a verdict in less than three days. To his surprise, the Jury sided with his client, a 23-year old Louisiana car accident victim and awarded $1.175 Million in compensatory damages for a minor car accident.
This verdict is not the norm, especially when a car accident victim has a prior lower-back injury from a previous car accident. The client had no visible injuries and received doctor reports citing minimal disc bulges. Despite the defense showing evidence that the victim did not miss any days from work, played softball and went out dancing the Plaintiff Attorney, Andre P.Gauthier still received a great verdict for his client. It is a good thing that he turned down the earlier settlement of $150,000.
