CASE DESCRIPTION:

Attorney Chris Aitken achieved a successful outcome in a complex case involving a client with a pre-existing medical condition. The case involved an auto accident captured on video, resulting in the client requiring back surgery and a recommendation for future fusion. Despite the pre-existing condition and medical causation being a point of contention, Aitken secured a $1.1 million settlement on behalf of his client after State Farm agreed to pay the full policy limits in a recent mediation just before the trial.
