Our client was stopped at a red light when he was rear-ended by another vehicle in a low impact accident. Our client sustained neck and low back injuries, requiring surgery. As a result of the first surgery, our client developed complex regional pain syndrome (previously known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy) in his right foot. The case against the negligent driver settled for $2.3 million. The settlement did not include a release for claims against the doctor who performed the surgery, which is allowing our client to pursue a separate claim for medical negligence against the doctor.
Case: Woodard v. Anderson
