$3.24 Million
A New Haven, CT jury returned a verdict of $3.24 million for a resident of Guilford, CT who slipped on black ice on the parking surface of a Guilford strip mall on February 23, 2015. Stewart Casper’s client sustained a traumatic brain injury followed by chronic intractable migraine headaches, balance and vision problems, together with cognitive impairments. The evidence consumed three weeks and the jury deliberated for 1 ½ days. Casper’s evidence included a meteorologist, a snow and ice abatement expert, two neurologists, a neuroradiologist expert in diffusion tensor imaging, a life care planner, and a vocational economist. Casper surgically cross-examined the defense neurologist, neuro-ophthalmologist, toxicologist, and neuropsychologist, forcing each to concede major points concerning the science that accounts for nearly half of TBIs resulting in chronic problems.
