On November 10, 2016, plaintiff was driving her 2002 Nissan Maxima on SR-34 in Ventura when defendant made an illegal U-turn in front of her. Plaintiff attempted to avoid the collision but rear-ended defendant's vehicle.
Plaintiff contended she was injured from the incident and her medical bills were reasonable and necessary.
Defendant admitted liability, but argued all treatment, except Kaiser and 4-6 weeks of chiropractic care was unreasonable an unnecessary.
Plaintiff sustained soft tissue injuries. Plaintiff went to Kaiser three days after the incident, and a chiropractor 11 days later. She treated with the chiropractor for two years in 90+ visits. Her chiropractic bill was $11,000, all on a lien. Plaintiff also sought treatment from Dr. Moelleken at the Spine & Orthopedic Center where she eventually received an injection, all on a lien.
