The defense stipulated liability. The defense presented an orthopedic expert, whose opinion was that the plaintiff had preexisting arthritis/degenerative changes in her spine that predated the subject accident and was not a permanent injury related to the subject accident. The jury voted unanimously that the plaintiff did not sustain a permanent injury as a result of the accident.
