A woman received a $50,000 settlement for injuries that were allegedly aggravated following a rear-end collision on an interstate on-ramp. In 2007, Georgette Guerra, then 67, was struck by Steven Dang. She claimed the crash exacerbated her pre-existing arthritic conditions in her lower back and both knees, requiring physical therapy and arthroscopic surgery on her right knee. She claimed her condition affected her ability to work and she will eventually require a total knee replacement. Defense counsel contended that Guerra only suffered minor, temporary injuries and that her current symptoms were unrelated to the accident. Instead, counsel claimed the current complaints were due to the pre-existing degenerative conditions.
