Automatic Sprinkler, et al.,
the plaintiff sued for spinal injuries suffered as a result of a
rear-end collision. The plaintiff was a retired firefighter, and
not working at the time of the accident. The defense argued that

plaintiff.
In Harrold v.
Lyons, et al., the plaintiff suffered damage to his cervical and lumbar spine as a
result of a rear-end collision wherein the defendant was driving
while intoxicated. The plaintiff missed five months of work as a
deputy sheriff, returned to work for approximately one year, and
then went back off work due to the continuing symptoms. Plaintiff
was then advised that he needed a lumbar fusion surgery to reduce
his pain. The defense argued that his injuries from the accident
were minor, and that the surgery was really necessitated from two
prior, lower back injuries whereby plaintiff missed five months of
work for each, in combination with natural degeneration.

was able to secure a $700,000 settlement for the plaintiff shortly
