Defendant testified at her deposition that she was going about 35 miles per hour when the collision occurred.
Five hours after the crash, Plaintiff left work to go to the ER, where he complained of neck pain and was released shortly thereafter. Three days later he returned to the ER complaining of back pain radiating into his legs. After subsequently seeing his primary care physician, he was referred to pain management who ordered an MRI of his lower back which revealed multilevel degenerative disc disease and a disc bulge with protrusion at L5-S1. Plaintiff treated conservatively and was given an injection at that level in September 2016 which provided him with 90 percent relief as reported on follow-up with his doctor in December 2016. Plaintiff did not return for treatment until January 2019 when he returned to pain management and subsequently received an additional injection. At trial the Plaintiff testified that his back pain returned after approximately six months, but he did not seek any treatment because he was afraid the doctor would tell him he had to have surgery, which would make it more difficult for him to care for his wife, who is disabled and has mobility concerns. Plaintiff incurred approximately $15,000 in medical bills and $10,000 in lost wages.
At trial, Plaintiff’s pain management doctor testified he would need future injections or a lumbar fusion, with projected costs for each between $105,000 and $125,000.
