Lori Porter was injured in a rear-end collision caused solely by the defendant. The main issue at trial was determining the appropriate damages. Unfortunately, Ms. Porter has not recovered from her accident-related injuries, which included soft tissue injuries to her neck, back, and shoulders, as well as ongoing headaches, dizziness, and constant ringing in her ears. She was unable to return to work or engage in her usual activities. The defendant argued that the extent of the plaintiff's injuries was exaggerated and that she failed to mitigate her losses. However, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, awarding her a total amount of $1,451,193.89 in damages.
