Adam Cossey Obtains Favorable Jury Verdict in Admitted Liability MVA Trial

In a Morehouse Parish, Louisiana case in which Adam Cossey’s client admitted to rear-ending a family of four while traveling 45 mph, Adam obtained a favorable jury verdict that limited plaintiffs’ damages to within a few thousand dollars of their medical expenses. While the plaintiffs sought more than $250,000 in damages, the jury awarded less than $45,000, which was less than the amount offered by the defendants during pre-trial settlement negotiations.
