Attorney Kubic Gets $40,000.00 Verdict for Motor Vehicle Collision Victim

On September 29, 2005, Attorney Joseph Kubic was awarded a verdict for his client in the amount of $40,000.00 for injuries sustained when a car the plaintiff was riding in, driven by the defendant, was involved in a collision as a result of the defendant's negligence in driving through an intersection. Attorney Kubic, in the jury trial, established that the plaintiff suffered soft tissue neck and back injuries as a direct result of the collision, which resulted in 5% permanency ratings in both her neck and back. The jury awarded her $15,000.00 in economic damages (including future medicals of $6,700.00) and $25,000.00 in non-economic damages, as well as costs and interest. The carrier’s last pre-trial offer was $13,500.00.

Joe Kubic Obtains $75,000.00 Verdict

Joe Kubic represented a woman who was a passenger in a car stopped at a traffic light that was rear ended by the Defendant's motor vehicle. There was little visible damage to the car in which Attorney Kubic's client was a passenger. The client complained of neck pain and discomfort. She did not treat immediately after the collision but then treated with an orthopaedic surgeon for a short time and obtained physical therapy.  The client was assigned with a permanent impairment rating of her neck.  The lowest offer was $5,000.00 which was soundly rejected by Attorney Kubic.  The jury brought back a verdict of $75,000.00 following two (2) days of trial.
