Plaintiff Anthony Wilson’s medical bills for a 2016 wreck totaled $73,000—not a lot considering the $1.225 million result in his state court lawsuit in Cobb County, Georgia.

Wilson’s attorney, Andy Conn of Harris Lowry Manton, told the Daily Report Friday he made a strategic decision to focus not on the medical bills for damages but on the enjoyment of life that the injuries took away. Conn said he didn’t even present evidence on the medical damages, but instead used testimony from Wilson’s wife and son to show how the injuries changed him and aged him overnight.
