The Easy Clean PI report : Part 5
5. Causation
[usually omitted by most DC's]

“It is my professional opinion that the injuries described are a direct result of the accident”.

This 16 word sentence can save your case.

The Lesson:
Not all judges require this sentence. But smart defense attorneys are driving a truck through DC’s who do not CONNECT the injury with the accident.

For copies of Parts 1 through 5 please email John Tawlian at JohnTawlian@Shawnsteel.com

Big Win in Orange County for VF

Brian Irvine, DC reports a remarkable jury verdict dependant on VF testimony.

The Plaintiff Kristine Pavlic, is a 37 year-old female flight attendant, who sustained neck and back injuries in 2004 after her Honda Civic was rear-ended by another vehicle (full size van).

Her doctor, David Starr, DC brought in Mike Milar DC, a well known defense IME who referred patient to Brian’s office . Brian testified that the patient’s instability was demonstrable at C4-C5.

The pre trial offer was some $6000. The patient’s condition continues to deteriorate over time. Irvine proved that the bone spurs were not seen on a prior VF study, confirming traumatic instability

Kristine’s doctors testified against well known defense ortho Douglas Kiester, M.D.

The jury was a little skeptical of Kiester. It was revealed that Keister just testified in 3 cases already in January. Kristine’s trial took place on Jan 10th and the jury awarded Kristine $289,884.00.

KRISTINE PAVLIC VS. PARKER, CROSSTOWN ELECTRIC & DATA INC.
Orange County Superior Court - Case # 05CC10035, January 2007

THE LESSON: With objective evidence supported by effective specialist allies, you can always beat a defense ortho.
