Plaintiff incurred approximately $15,000 in medical bills and $10,000 in lost wages.Īt trial, Plaintiff’s pain management doctor testified he would need future injections or a lumbar fusion, with projected costs for each between $105,000 and $125,000.

Plaintiff treated conservatively and was given an injection at that level in September 2016 which provided him with 90 percent relief as reported on follow-up with his doctor in December 2016.
