Eisenberg v. Amazon

Summary

Anita Sun Eisenberg was struck by an Amazon van in a parking lot. Eisenberg sues Amazon, claiming to have suffered severe leg damage from the van. Amazon admits liability for the accident, so this trial centers on damages.

Along with a severe crush injury, Eisenberg suggests that she developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, or CRPS. In addition to CRPS, she alleges she suffered severe neck and back injuries.

Amazon acknowledges her ankle and leg injuries but disputes the severity of her alleged neck and back injuries, along with her CRPS claim.

Outcome

Verdict for plaintiff.
Total damages: $5 million.
