On Feb. 13, a jury found that a driver claiming a lower back injury was solely liable for a parking lot collision. In 2010, Betty Jacobs was backing her car out of the lot of her apartment complex. She collided with Ishmael Raoof. Jacobs claimed bulging disks at L3-4 and L4-5 and a disk herniation at L5-S1.The defense chiropractic expert cited the delay in diagnosis and treatment and testified that Jacob’s injuries were not as severe as claimed or the result of preexisting conditions. Defense counsel argued that Jacobs was to blame for the crash because he had the right of way.
