Summary
In this auto accident case, Todd Hussey was hit by Yoshifumi Tahira's tourist transport vehicle as Tahira merged lanes, resulting in Hussey's RV being struck. Defendants Nevada Kando Services and Tahira admit liability for the accident but contest Hussey's stated damages.
Plaintiff Todd Hussey claims he suffered neck and back injuries that cause him chronic pain. While representatives for Hussey admit that he did not seek treatment immediately after the accident, they attribute this to his years of serving as an asphalt worker, leaving him unwilling to seek aid immediately.
Attorneys for the defense argue that Hussey's injuries are not as severe as he claims. They point to the lack of physical damage on the RV, as well as the gap between the crash and Hussey's decision to seek treatment, as reasons why Hussey's chronic pain was likely due to arthritis.
Outcome
Verdict for defendant.
