March 5, 2025.  GMKE Attorney Arjun Nair won in trial this week in a case that was tried to a jury in the State Court of Cobb County this week.  This case arose out of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on May 9, 2022 on SR 316 in Winder, Georgia.

Plaintiff was traveling westbound on SR 316 and was rear ended by the Defendant.  The only visible damage to Plaintiff’s car was a license plate imprint in its rear.  Defendant’s front license plate was bent as a result of the collision.

The Plaintiff complained of back pain at the scene and was transported to the ER by EMS.  He then underwent chiropractic treatment for soft tissue injuries before undergoing an MRI.  He was then referred to a pain management clinic for multiple pain injections.  His medical bills were approximately $30,000.

Liability was admitted at trial.    During his closing, the plaintiff asked the jury to award all of the past medical bills and pain and suffering in a total amount of $60,000-$90,000.  Mr. Nair asked the jury to award the Plaintiff $5,000.  The jury deliberated for approximately an hour and 20 minutes before returning a verdict of $4,161.60.

The Case is Alfred Mayes v. Anna Reichelt, State Court of Cobb County CAFN 23-A-2129.
