$4.5M Demand Ends in $20K Verdict: Defense Win in San Diego

Douglas Guy & Jesse Allen received a verdict in Downtown San Diego in the admitted liability 2-car accident case where plaintiff claimed a severe neck injury from this accident. She had $265,000 in meds including an almost 5 years post-accident multi-level cervical fusion, with a subsequent accident in between she did not disclose in her discovery or depo. Our 998 offer was $100,000.

Counsel claimed for years that the case could not be settled because the policy was open. He asked for $4.5M in closing. Jesse requested they award her $20,295: past meds of $10,295 and $10,000 pain & suffering.

After 10 days in trial and a solid day of deliberating, the jury saw through the game & awarded Plaintiff $20,280!
