February 3, 2010 - Ralph S. Palmer and Eric M. Palmer of Palmer O’Dea Law Firm have obtained a $118,000.00 net jury verdict on behalf of their client that suffered a C5-6 paracentral disc herniation in a motor vehicle accident. MRI results indicated no nerve root compression on the C6 nerve root, but intermittent left-arm radiculopathy was present.

This suit was an uninsured motorist claim against American Family Insurance Company. Shortly before trial, American Family Insurance Company made an offer of settlement in the amount of $35,000.00, which was declined by the Plaintiff. As a result of beating the significant award, the Plaintiff will seek double taxation of its cost.

The Dakota County District Court jury awarded the following damages, through party stipulation and jury verdict:

• Past Pain, Suffering & Disability: $25,000.00
• Future Pain, Suffering & Disability: $30,000.00
• Future Medical Expense: $55,000.00
• Future Wage Loss: $8,000.00
  NET TOTAL: $118,000.00
