His client, 23-year-old Courtney Leblanc, claimed to have suffered a lower-back injury in a minor car accident three years earlier.

A California jury recently awarded $23.4 million to a Newport Beach teenager who suffered a serious head injury last year when a driver ran a red light and hit his family car.
