Grimes v. Nemeth
VERDICT
Trial
09/19/23 – 09/21/23
Summary
In this trial, medical student Mary Katherine Grimes was involved in a car accident with defendant Stephen Nemeth. Nemeth admits fault but argues that the crash did not cause Grimes' alleged knee pain.
Representatives for Grimes claim that her knee pain developed from the accident. They present testimony from a treating physician that the damage in Grimes' knee tissue was from acute trauma to counter the defendant's allegations that the pain resulted from years of degenerative damage from volleyball.
Nemeth claims that Grimes' knee pain was a result of a condition known as patella alta combined with years of impact damage from volleyball. Additionally, Nemeth's attorney asserts that the issues are not as severe as Grimes claims, presenting testimony that she continued to participate in physical activities in the wake of the accident.
Outcome
Verdict for plaintiff.
Total damages: $300,000.
