Car Accident Du Jour
You work for a personal injury firm that specializes in car accident cases. Your supervising
attorney hands you a new file and tells you to review the attorney notes from the initial
consult, the police report and medical records in the file. He wants you to write him a memo
outlining whether all elements of the negligence can likely be established, the type of
damages apparent from the file and any defenses that may be available to the defendant.
The attorney reminds you that the state has adopted the 50-50 Approach to Comparative
Negligence.
You dig right into the file. The client is John. John was driving home from work when
another driver who failed to stop at a red light clipped him. John saw that the driver was

next paycheck to get them replaced. He tells you that if the brakes were not worn out, he

Upon contact, John’s airbag deployed upon impact, which was a good thing. He forgot to
fasten his safety belt. The side impact did cause his left side to slam against the door, which
may not have happened if he was wearing a seat belt. John suffered some severe bruising
on the left side of his body but no broken bones. He also has been experienced soft tissue
injury to his back and neck. At the ER, he was given a prescription for pain medication for
some mild pain he was suffering and was discharged. He did miss a couple of days of work
and is seeing a chiropractor for the injury to his neck and back. The medical records indicate
that John should make a complete recovery with no permanent impairments. His medical
insurance is covering the medical bills although he has some out of pocket expenses.
A police officer arrived on the scene and took a statement from both John and the other
driver, Ben. The police report reveals that the officer ticketed Ben, the other driver for
failing to stop. John did not receive a ticket.
