Jury Awards Auto Accident Victim $1.31 Million

Cellino & Barnes Trial Attorney Richard P. Amico.

A 39-year-old business owner was struck from behind by a vehicle while on his way to a service call.

As a result of the auto accident, our client suffered multiple disc herniations to his neck and back. As a result, he underwent numerous injections and received hundreds of chiropractic and massage therapy treatments.

Despite his disability, our client did not miss any time from work. He did have to hire another technician to perform the manual labor portion of his job. Our client also had to take out a second mortgage on his home just to keep his business afloat.

A Monroe County jury deliberated for five hours before awarding our client: $80,000 in past pain and suffering; $150,000 in past wage loss; $360,000 in future pain and suffering and $720,000 in future wage loss. The total verdict was $1,310,000.

"Rich Amico did an outstanding job for our client", stated Ross Cellino. "His experience as a trial attorney was a key factor why our client received this substantial award."
