Injuries
The plaintiff claimed she sustained a torn meniscus in her right knee that required arthroscopic surgery one year after the accident. Afterwards, she was put on crutches and received some therapy. The plaintiff complained of continuing knee pain and problems kneeling down. The defendants disputed the nature and the extent of the plaintiff's damages, questioning whether the meniscal tear was caused by the accident.
