Blakemore v. Ohgi CA4/1
Erin Blakemore suffers from a painful nerve disorder called trigeminal neuralgia. The primary factual dispute at trial was whether this condition was caused when her car was rear-ended by a vehicle Akizumi Ohgi was driving. In large part, the trial was a battle of medical experts. The jury apparently found Ohgi's expert to be persuasive and awarded Blakemore $9,000 (she asked for approximately $2.5 million).
