M&G Shareholder Peter Farr recently secured a defense verdict in a week-long auto case where Plaintiff sought a verdict of $1.9 million and claimed past and future surgeries caused by the accident. The jury reached its decision based on Farr’s argument of a sudden emergency, asserting that the defendant was faced with an emergency situation and, therefore, was not negligent in colliding with the rear of Plaintiff’s vehicle.
In Farr’s second trial, he prevailed in a two-day trial where Plaintiff sought over $100,000 and claimed past surgeries and the need for a future surgery were caused by the accident. Defendant admitted fault for causing the accident involving a rear-end collision. The jury awarded damages in an amount less than what Plaintiff had already collected, resulting in no additional money owed following the verdict.
