Carr & Carr

Tulsa, Oklahoma- April 5, 2006

A Tulsa County Jury returned a verdict for $30,000, in favor of a Carr & Carr client today. Tye Smith from our Oklahoma City office tried the case for three days before the jury returned its verdict. The other driver, a State Farm insured, only had a $25,000 liability policy, resulting in an excess verdict against State Farm's insured. State Farm's attorneys argued it was a very minor impact with no damage to the rear of the plaintiff's vehicle and that the plaintiff was exaggerating his injuries. As is all too common in Tulsa County, the insurance company had Dr. Sami Framjee testify on behalf of its insured. As usual, Dr. Framjee testified the plaintiff only suffered a simple strain injury which would have only required one trip to the doctor. Apparently, the jury disagreed with Dr. Framjee. State Farm's top offer before trial was only $12,500. After the judge awards interest and costs to the verdict, it will nearly triple State Farm's best offer. At Carr & Carr, we will keep fighting for you.
