Millard County Verdict Favors {Provo Injury Lawyers

A Millard County jury provided John Losee a total verdict of nearly $162,000 in repayment for injuries sustained in an vehicle-semi collision in Hinckley, Utah.  I had the privilege of representing John in Losee v. Mike Stanworth and Sons, Inc.  Trial was held in Fillmore, Utah and on October 7, 2010 the jury granted all of John Losee’s clinical bills of $7,811.92 and awarded him pain and struggling damages of $154,000.



John Losee, of Tremonton Utah and before from Delta, suffered everlasting neck and mid back injuries from the collision.  John’s accidents weren't able to be corrected via surgical procedure, and in consequence he needed to give up his dream task as a U.S. Forrest Service firefighter, a bodily hard job.  The jury’s award is significant for the considerable ache and suffering damages given by the jury at $154,000, especially in gentle of the relatively low clinical expenses.



State Farm Insurance defended the semi motive force, Pat Stanworth of Mike Stanworth and Sons, Inc.  State Farm challenged John Losee’s honesty in his statements about his well being sooner than the collision while he served as a U.S. Wooded area Service firefighter, and challenged John’s honesty in how his everlasting accidents effected his lifestyles after the wreck.  The jury used to be clearly not persuaded through this tactic.  Liability was once additionally contested, and the jury discovered Pat Stanworth 78% at fault for the collision.  Under Utah’s comparative fault statutes, John will get well 78% of the verdict.



In representing John I requested the jury to consider the truth that John Losee had been the one particular person to have actually paid for the collision among the parties–in fact, John had paid for the collision with his back. The big query for the jury to answer was whether John will be the just one who paid.  The question used to be whether John might receives a commission again for the permanent injuries he suffered–paid again "in full."  State Farm’s attorneys argued John’s pain and suffering damages will have to handiest be a few quantity related to the somewhat small medical expenses he incurred.  As a substitute, the jury replied with cost in complete: $154,000 in ache and struggling damages.



John’s case highlights the significance of in search of early representation from an damage regulation firm with the experience and recognize-how to take a case to trial and win.  John’s top be offering from State Farm previous to trial was once $15,000, a minuscule quantity compared to the actual damages he won from the jury.  The case was once exhausting fought and tough received towards probably the most biggest auto insurance corporations in The united states, related to extensive pre-trial and trial work so as to prevail.  



Many lawyers would now not be prepared to have fought so exhausting or spent the necessary resources to be triumphant towards State Farm in a case with only $7,811.92 in clinical bills.  Then again, I think it was once my honor to constitute such a good and forthright man, and we have been happy as a company to dedicate the necessary instruments to get the justice John Losee so rightly deserved.  Firefighters are incessantly asked to place their lives at the line for the protection of us all; here I had the privilege of calling upon a Millard County jury to apply the regulation in order to give protection to folks who offer coverage to us.  The jury responded this call honorably, with payment back to John Losee "in full."
