Barbara Barr v. Leslie Probasco 2007

Cynthia Newton obtained a $98,344.77 jury verdict in Multnomah County on behalf of a 60-year-old comptroller at a well-known local company who suffered a neck sprain as a result of a 2-car rear-end collision on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in December 2004. Radiological studies were negative for fracture or disc herniation, but plaintiff’s symptoms persisted despite physical therapy and chiropractic care. With costs, the defense carrier paid $99,536.77. The jury’s verdict was more than eight times the defendant’s settlement offer.
