Insurance companies typically try to contest the relationship between accidents and victim injuries.  In a recent Wake County decision, the jury heard evidence concerning a car accident victim who claimed shoulder injury due to a Raleigh area car accident.  Following the accident and after the victim's first surgery, the plaintiff fell causing some aggravation of the shoulder condition.

The injury attorney for the injured victim was forced to bring the case to trial in Wake County Superior Court after defense counsel and the defendant's insurance representatives offered only $3,000.00 for the total injury claim.  According to the defense, the accident victim's shoulder condition was not caused by the car collision.  The orthopaedic surgeon did testify in court and confirmed that the plaintiff had frozen shoulder syndrome and a rotator cuff tear.  A second surgical procedure was ultimately required to release the frozen shoulder.

After hearing all evidence, the Wake County jury awarded the personal injury victim a verdict of $86,169.  No appeal was filed, and the plaintiff was awarded a judgement for the verdict plus costs and pre-judgment interests.

If an insurance adjuster argues that your accident related personal injuries are not related to an accident, immediately contact an experinced accident and injury lawyer to review your circumstances and consider your medical claims.  Personal injury lawyer, Carl Nagle, is a former insurance claims adjuster and former insurance defense lawyer.  According to attorney Nagle, "insurance companies do not profit by paying claims, and they will always seek to reduce their financial obligations by arguing that their insured driver either did not cause the accident, or that the car accident was not the true cause of the victims' injuries and medical problems".
