On 8/30/00 at approximately 2:35 PM, Plaintiff, a 40-year-old job supervisor, was having lunch in his legally parked car near the intersection of Nassau Blvd. and Princeton Ave. in Nassau County. Plaintiff claimed that Defendant failed to yield the right-of-way, causing Co-Defendants to collide and then strike Plaintiff's car.
Defendants made a motion for summary judgment on the issue of threshold and Robert M. Brinen successfully opposed the motion. Plaintiff's injures included a herniated cervical disc at C6-7; herniated lumbar disc at L4-5 and L5-S1; and a left nondominant shoulder anterior labral tear. Plaintiff claimed all injuries were supported by MRI findings. EMG tests were positive for C-6 and L5-S1 radiculopathy. Defendant contended that the lumbar herniations were chronic with moderate associated degenerative changes. Defendant's neurologist stated that Plaintiff's neurological examination was entirely normal, negative, and without any objective findings. He stated that the injuries were soft tissue injuries which had resolved. During jury selection, Robert M. Brinen achieved a settlement of $62,500.
