Catherine Valenzuela claimed a severe disc impingement in a rear-ender and was awarded $250,000. She was stopped at a red light when she was rear-ended by Dineshba Patel, who was traveling at least 30 mph. Valenzuela claimed that she never suffered a back or neck injury before this crash. She alleged that she developed disc bulges at multiple levels with a serious spinal impingement. She said her future prognosis was extremely poor, with a likelihood of increasing back and neck pain and diminished function. Patel claimed a pre-existing condition and denied responsibility.

In 2006, Priscilla Ann Quinn, then 50, claimed that she sustained two cervical herniations in a rear-ender with a sport utility vehicle. She sued State Farm for uninsured motorist benefits and was awarded $466,293. She initially had a cervical fusion with plates and screws implanted. When her condition failed to improve, she underwent a multi-level cervical laminectomy in 2008. The defense attorney pointed out that a 1996 MRI showed a bulge at C5-6 and a small herniation at C6-7. Plaintiff showed that there had been demonstrable changes in Quinn’s cervical MRI findings between 1996 and the post-accident MRI.

A man who fell some 30 feet at a job site was awarded nearly $29 million by a jury. The accident happened on July 11, 2006, on what is now JetBlue Airways Corp.’s terminal at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Christopher Miller, then 29, was working on the structure’s roof when a gust of wind floored him and sent him plummeting through a hole of the roof. He fell about 30 feet, fractured his spine and had some other permanent injuries. He sued because he was not provided the proper safety devices that could have secured him to the roof.
