In an unusual case the Supreme
Court of Maine has upheld a jury finding in Superior Court which resulted in an
award of zero to a plaintiff who sought recovery for injuries sustained in an
autom obile collision.
The parties
agreed that the defendant’s negligence was the sole cause of the collision, but
the court found that the jury was justified in awarding no damages where there
was evidence that the plaintiff had engaged in a number of rather strenuous
physical activities following the accident.
This is a
WARNING to anyone who might be contemplating a phony injury claim or who may be
exaggerating the extent of the injuries.
You are entitled to be compensated for legitimate injuries caused by the
accident, but if you claim to be more badly hurt than you actually are, a jury
could decide that you get nothing at all!
Call me if
you have a legitimate claim, and I will make sure that you get everything that
you have coming to you. 1-800-999-5342
