A T-bone collision at a stop sign caused significant injuries to the plaintiff, including a herniated disc at L4-5, lumbar radiculopathy, a knee contusion, and soft tissue injuries to the neck. The plaintiff underwent treatment from an orthopedist and received several epidural injections to address the injuries.

The defendant admitted liability for the collision but contested the nature and extent of the injuries, asserting that they were degenerative and linked to a prior motor vehicle accident. The jury ultimately returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarding $50,000 in damages.
