January 11, 2012

Michael J. Nunez and Bryan J. Ure received a favorable defense award in a Nevada personal injury action.

The plaintiff litigated and sought damages against the defendant, alleging spinal trauma incurred as a result of a collision caused by the defendant’s negligence. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant swerved into the side of his vehicle while executing a lane change. The defendant admitted to changing lanes, but denied seeing the plaintiff’s vehicle.

The arbitrator awarded the plaintiff only six percent of his medical bills.
