Plaintiff was injured in a rear-end collision near the University of Missouri campus on 8/23/21. Plaintiff was struck by a driver in the process of food delivery for Jimmy Johns. Two weeks prior to trial, Jimmy Johns admitted liability and acknowledged the driver was employed in August of 2021. Plaintiff went through a spine surgery and due to his age of 29, Plaintiff counsel argued he would have future spine care needs including one if not two more surgeries.

Defense counsel for Jimmy Jones argued the spine surgery may or may not have been needed and argued he has returned to work and symptoms had resolved. Defense counsel argued damages not to exceed $250,000.00.

Jury awarded Plaintiff $2.5 million at the close of the two-day trial.
