Bruce Pancio Obtains Favorable Jury Verdict in Montgomery County

Bruce Pancio achieved a terrific result for our client, a driver who accidentally caused a motor vehicle accident, in a two-day jury trial in Montgomery County. Our client had admitted negligence prior to trial, and the only issue left for the jury’s consideration was the extent of the plaintiff’s damages. During trial, the plaintiff argued to the jury that his injuries were certain to be permanent and would cause long-lasting effects on his life. Through effective cross-examination and use of expert testimony, Bruce convinced the jury that the plaintiff’s injuries were unlikely to be permanent and were limited in time and duration. The jury awarded the plaintiff an amount directly in line with Bruce’s presentation, and far short of the total amount the plaintiff had demanded before trial and even further short of the amount he requested the jury award.
