$1 Million Settlement for Pre-Existing Neck Surgery
New York accident lawyers of The Personal Injury Dream Team™ at 1-800-HURT-911® obtained a $1,000,000 settlement years before trial for a woman who was knocked off balance and fell when struck in the leg by a forklift in a warehouse store in New York.
The insurance company denied the claim arguing that the accident never happened, the plaintiff was not taken to the hospital by ambulance from the accident scene, and she had similar prior neck surgery from a previous accident approximately ten years earlier.
In this slip and fall case, she had anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at C4/5/6 at the same level as she did 10 years earlier. We argued that the prior neck surgery made her worse than she would have been.
