Defense Verdict - Admitted Liability - Volusia County- Plaintiff Requested $1,776,258

On October 31, 2025, Orlando Senior Partner Juan Ruiz and Senior Associate Stephanie Davis obtained a complete defense verdict on an admitted liability rear-end collision case. This is parachute trial number 16 for Juan Ruiz this year, our Excess Monitoring and Parachute Trial Co-Chair. No priors, multiple disc herniations in the cervical and lumbar spine, an alleged traumatic brain injury, a L5-S1 discectomy, and overbilling of $166,000 with a $486,000 Life Care Plan. Plaintiff asked for $1,776,258, but the jury said $0 after 44 minutes. Senior Associate Stephanie Davis second-chaired this win and handled our radiology expert. Even with tort reform, the LOP docs continue to overbill these cases. We will continue to aggressively defend against these abuses.
