$400,000 Awarded in Glendale Auto Accident Case

The intensity of the impact has caused Plaintiff thousands of dollars in personal damages. It is manifested that the Defendant took no attention to his speed or the cross traffic ahead of him, thereby precipitating a collision with Plaintiff’s vehicle. The Defendant was operating the vehicle in such a reckless manner, in violation of the following California Vehicle Codes:  21804 – “(a). The driver of any vehicle about to enter or cross a highway from any public or private property, or from an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all traffic, as defined in Section 620, approaching on the highway close enough to constitute an immediate hazard, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to that traffic until he or she can proceed with reasonable safety.” 22350 – “No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.” 23103 – “(a). A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway in a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.”

As a result of her automobile accident, Plaintiff suffered injuries to his neck, middle back, lower back, and left shoulder, along with headaches. Plaintiff’s injuries were significant enough to incur $75,000 in medical expenses. Plaintiff required multiple lumbar spinal injections, to where he now has ongoing sporadic lumbar spine pain, for which he will require intermittent chiropractic and physical therapy treatment in the future. Furthermore, Plaintiff’s medical treating providers recommended that Plaintiff undergo a lumbar spine surgery.
