Amanda Mullins secured a defense verdict in Forrest County on Aug. 31, 2009 in a case of alleged automobile negligence.
The Plaintiff was traveling on a through highway and alleged that the Defendant pulled out in front of the Plaintiff from a side road causing the Plaintiff to sustain a fractured knee and other injuries. After securing a solid jury through her voir dire, Ms. Mullins established that the Defendant actually had the right of way at the time. Then, the Plaintiff’s credibility was attached by exposing inconsistencies in his deposition testimony, trial testimony, and medical records. It was proven to the jury that the Plaintiff was not truthful about an undisclosed prior knee injury, and that the Plaintiff did not actually fracture his knee in this accident.
The end result was an 11-1 jury verdict in favor of the defense.
