In today’s case (Harder v. Poettcker) the Plaintiff was involved in a 2009 collision. The matter proceeded to jury trial where a jury found the Plaintiff 85% at fault for the crash with the Defendant shouldering the rest of the blame.
The Plaintiff suffered a back injury. He suffered from pre-existing back problems and fibromyalgia. The court found that while the Plaintiff’s symptoms lingered at the time of trial after the 6 year mark these symptoms were due to the pre-existing issues.
