A 36-year-old Glen Cove nurse was ultimately dismissed from her job due to back injuries sustained when a rental car slammed into the back of her car while she was stopped at a red light. Although she attempted to return to work shortly after the accident, her injuries eventually required back surgery and she was unable to keep up her work activities at the level maintained before the accident. Mark Freeley obtained summary judgment on liability prior to jury selection so that the only issue remaining at trial was the amount of damages. The firm was able to recover damages for injury and future lost wages.
