FIRM OBTAINS DEFENSE VERDICT IN ADMITTED LIABILITY CASE!


Firm Litigator Paterno Jurani was recently awarded a defense verdict in an Arbitrated case where liability by the Firm's client was admitted!

In this case, a motor vehicle accident occurred in the parking garage of the Gold Coast Hotel located in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the time on the incident, our client was backing out of a parking space when she accidently struck the left, front fender of Plaintiff's vehicle.

Despite the minor impact, Plaintiff alleged injury to his neck and back and claimed over $3,000 in medical specials. Plaintiff also presented a repair estimate for his vehicle of approximately $1,000.

At Arbitration, Litigator Jurani argued that any damages to Plaintiff's vehicle were pre-existing and not caused by the accident involving the Firm's client. He also noted that Plaintiff had a long history of neck and back pain dating back to 2000, did not notice any pain related to the incident until 5 days thereafter, and did not seek medical treatment until 18 days post-accident.

Mr. Paterno stated that even though the Firm's client accepted full liability for the incident itself, Plaintiff's claims were without merit and did not entitle him to any monetary damages.

In the end, the Arbitrator agreed and rendered a complete defense verdict on behalf of the Firm's client!
