Car Accident Rear End At Naperville Road And Butterfield – EXCESS VERDICT $806,129.11

Our client was stopped at a red light at Butterfield and Naperville Road in Wheaton, Illinois, when she was rear-ended by the defendant. She sustained a concussion and herniated discs in her cervical and thoracic spine, worsening a preexisting lumbar herniation. She underwent physical therapy and trigger point injections. Her doctor recommended epidural steroid injections and testified that her injuries are permanent, painful and likely to get worse over time. Prior to trial, the plaintiff offered to settle for the defendant’s policy limits of $100,000.00. The best offer from the defense was $25,000.00. The trial lasted four days, and the DuPage County jury returned a verdict of $800,000.00. The defendant’s insurance company, State Farm, paid the entire verdict plus costs.
