The plaintiff, a resident of Woodbury, Connecticut, was a Chief Financial Marketing Officer for an international company with its home office in New York City. She was rear-ended in Bethel, Connecticut on Interstate 84 by a Newtown, Connecticut defendant. The plaintiff suffered vertigo, a concussion without loss of consciousness, headaches, neck strain, and low back strain. She also had prior low back surgery and was involved in a second post-accident collision. The plaintiff treated with chiropractic physician Dr. Steven Levy of Woodbury, Connecticut, and neurologist Dr. Jan Mashman of Danbury. A lawsuit was filed in the Waterbury Superior Court. The case was then mediated in front of Attorney Richard Mahoney of Wethersfield, Connecticut. The liability carrier tendered full policy limits of $100,000.00 at the mediation. The thrust of the plaintiff's damage claim focused on impairment of the plaintiff's earning capacity. The plaintiff was also assigned a 5% impairment of her cervical spine along with a 5% impairment of her lumbar spine by her treating physician.
