Our VerdictsMr. Wine’s 10 Minute Jury Verdict

Mr. Wine tried the case of Kiuzkowski v. Galent to verdict from September 21, 2015 to September 22, 2015. Judge Funderburk of the Daley Center presided over the jury. The plaintiff alleged that a disk injury to her neck and a shoulder injury contending that Ms. Galant drove her car carelessly at the intersection of Wellington and Naragansett in Chicago. Mr. Wine and Ms. Galent showed the jury that contact took place only because Ms. Galant had been struck by another car and as a result was pushed into the plaintiff’s car. The plaintiff presented medical bills of $11,264 and asked the jury for $37,000. Mr. Wine argued that Ms. Galent drove her car carefully and that the plaintiff’s injury was not credible. After Judge Funderburk gave the jury their legal instructions, they deliberated for 10 minutes and returned a verdict in favor of Ms. Galent.
