Elizabeth C. Clark, 51, was driving in downtown Bakersfield, she was struck on her passenger side forcing her car over to roll into its top.

Though defendant admitted liability he claimed Elizabeth suffered only minor sprains and strains that should resolve between 6 to 8 weeks. Defendant argued that Elizabeth over treated.

First big fact at the ER Elizabeth denied any injuries but she wanted to be “checked out”. She was discharged with medications and told she would likely be sore a few days. In a couple of days, she saw her family MD who referred her to a chiropractor.

The DC discovered that Elizabeth suffered from: cervical ligaments leading to hyperlaxity and pressure on the anterior cervical ganglion resulting on Barre-Lieou Syndrome symptoms. In addition, she suffered from preexisting disc disease at C5/6 with new disc protrusions superimposed on her DDD.

She claimed interference with her quality of life and loss time from work.
