On 9/17/25, our trial team, Brian Kim and Maureen Hennessey, secured a $1.18 million jury verdict in Long Beach for our client following a low-speed collision. The defense downplayed the incident, calling it an “accident in slow motion” in which a truck moving at approximately 5 mph merely “grazed” our client’s vehicle.
Despite the modest property damage, our client suffered a rotator cuff tear in his non-dominant left shoulder, requiring surgery. He recovered well, returned to work full time, and was discharged from his surgeon’s care with minimal pain and symptoms.
At trial, we emphasized that due to our client’s young age, even with an excellent surgical result, he will face a lifetime of pain and physical limitations. The jury agreed, awarding $600,000 for future pain and suffering alone, bringing the total verdict to $1.18 million.
