Jury awards $50,900 to plaintiff claiming whiplash
On Oct. 23, a jury awarded $50,900 to a woman who claimed whiplash and radicular pain in a rear-ender. Natalie Pryhuber claimed that she was looking down at a document in her lap when Jennifer Rendel-Kwiatkowski struck her. Pryhuber underwent three cervical MRIs, and all were essentially negative, but an EMG about eight months after the accident showed evidence of a pinched nerve. The defense denied that the injuries were caused by the accident. Pryhuber was moving into a new home at the time of the accident, and the defense argued that the heavy lifting may have caused her injuries.
