Matthew Dudley represented a man from Morton Grove who was injured in a traffic accident in western Nebraska. The man was stopped as a result of an earlier set of accidents, exited his vehicle to check if anyone needed assistance, and was struck from behind by an 18 wheel tractor trailer. As a result of the accident, the man sustained reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) of his right arm as well as compression fractures to four vertebras. The man’s right arm, his dominant arm, was rendered useless. The obtained verdict set a state record of $11,230,000 as well as being recognized as the second highest in U.S. history for suits involving RSD.
