Ben Erickson and Stella Maris Strohman recently obtained a favorable jury verdict on behalf of their client. The case arose out of a motor vehicle accident. Although their client admitted he caused the accident, Erickson and Strohman disputed the extent of the claimed injuries, including claims Plaintiff suffered a concussion, multiple disc herniations in his spine, and nerve damage as a result of the impact. At trial, Erickson and Strohman argued, through medical testimony, that Plaintiff had preexisting spinal degeneration and nerve issues, and that any closed head injury resolved shortly after the accident. At the conclusion of the evidence, Plaintiff asked the jury to award over $2 million in past and future damages. The jury ultimately sided with Erickson and Strohman’s position, awarding only $2,000.00 in total damages.
