Alexander v. Rojas, et al.
VERDICT
Trial
03/06/23 – 03/09/23
Summary
In this trial, Chantelle Alexander was rear-ended by a pickup truck. Alexander played soccer for Miami's ASA College at the time of the accident. The driver of the truck, Ariecel Rojas, along with owner Antonio Perez and employer US Fire Systems, admit liability but dispute the severity of Alexander's stated injuries.
Alexander emphasizes the difficulty she has playing soccer after the crash. She argues it resulted in her suffering neck and back injuries, which will likely require lifetime treatment for the pain.
Representatives for the defense point to evidence that Alexander did not seek treatment for over a week after the crash. Additionally, they highlight how she continued to play soccer during the next season despite her alleged injuries.
