Lafayette – Prius v. Bentley

Car Accident

Client filed suit for personal injuries arising out of a rear-end motor vehicle collision. Client was a wife and mother injured in a minor rear-end motor vehicle collision with a speed upon impact of approximately 5 mph. Notwithstanding the minor impact between the parties’ vehicles, the client immediately began to experience low back pain. The client reported these symptoms to her primary care physician on the day of the incident after which conservative health care was sought. When the client’s low back pain failed to subside, a MRI was pursued which revealed a lumbar spine herniated disc. The client eventually underwent a lumbar spine operation. Notably, Ms. Heinrich was able to prove a causal connection between the subject incident and the client’s disc herniation through the retention of a highly regarded radiologist.
