Won a defense verdict in a jury trial in the Middlesex County Superior Court in New Brunswick, New Jersey

We would like to congratulate BBS member, Jim Blumenthal, who won a defense verdict in a jury trial in the Middlesex County Superior Court in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The plaintiff alleged that as a result of a car accident she suffered cervical disc herniations at three levels necessitating an epidural injection. Her orthopedic surgeon testified at the trial that she would require a cervical fusion surgery. Although the defendant admitted fault for causing the car accident, the unanimous jury found that the plaintiff did not pierce the “verbal threshold,” in that she did not suffer a permanent injury as a result of the defendant’s negligence. The plaintiff was not awarded any monetary damages.
