John Fleming defended a case that involved a compact car that struck the rear of a pickup truck, arguably with no damage to either vehicle. The injured plaintiff claimed neck, back, and arm pain, and missed 6 weeks of work which he voluntarily took off. The jury returned with a not guilty verdict in favor of John’s client, the defendant driving a compact car. After the trial, the jury members reported they did not feel there was a significant enough impact to cause any injury.
