A federal jury awarded an $850,000 verdict to a Connecticut resident in a vehicle collision lawsuit.
The plaintiff’s back was injured, but significant gaps between treatment left the door open for questions about the necessity of surgery.
"Because it had been so long since Mr. Balla got a surgical recommendation, we didn't think he was going to go through with it and have his surgery," defense counsel Michael Kenney of Freeman Mathis & Gary said. "The jury found it persuasive that the real reason he put it off is because he's a sole proprietor, an owner-operator trucker, and he was basically waiting until he just couldn't wait any longer to have the surgery."
