On April 1, 2010 the lawsuit against Brine was filed by Mai Leen Aguilar-Santos seeking to recover damages for her injuries caused in the accident. Mai Leen claimed she sustained injuries to her neck, back and burns to her arm from the deployment of the airbag.<\/p>\n<p>Before trial, the court granted Mai Leen&#8217;s motion for partial summary judgment, finding that Brine breached her duty of ordinary care in causing the car collision. Brine then filed an amended answer admitting that her negligence was the proximate cause of Mai Leen&#8217;s injuries, but denied that the injuries she sustained in the accident were permanent. Two treating doctors provided trial testimony.<\/p>\n<p>One doctor, Dr. Lim, an orthopedic surgeon, testified that Mai Leen&#8217;s injuries and symptoms identified in the medical records were caused by the accident. He said Mai Leen&#8217;s condition may deteriorate with age or treatment. Dr. Lim examined Mai Leen recently and testified that she required future and further medical treatment for her pain and problems related to the automobile collision. The other treating physician, Dr. Malek, testified that Mai Leen suffered a permanent injury. Dr. Malek had not seen Mai Leen for 15 months prior to his evidence deposition that was presented to the jury.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/injury-lawyer\/illinois-appellate-court-affirms-jury-verdict-1-3-million-car-crash-causation-objections-defendant\/#more-6455\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On July 28, 2008 Mai Leen Aguilar-Santos was injured in a car crash alleged to have been caused by the defendant, Helen Brine.
