But the reality is Mary Ann suffered a life changing injury. Juries are smarter than most lawyers think. The do not judge cases like insurance adjusters and defense lawyers, making their award on the amount of medical bills and the property damage. Juries are human beings. They look at how much pain and suffering the plaintiff experienced as a result of the accident.” The Plaintiff claimed that she suffered a herniated disc in her accident. Defendants Gregory Volker and Reliable Roofing, Inc. claimed that Ms. Raleigh injuries occurred in a subsequent auto accident and that the injuries she did claim were minor.
