Former Palm Springs, California mayor Ron Oden lost what sounds like a minor soft tissue injury auto accident case yesterday. The rear end car accident at issue occurred three years ago when then Mayor Oden was rear-ended in a taxi insured by Mercury Insurance Group.
Plaintiff's injury lawyer was apparently surprised when the insurance company brought in a doctor to testify which is, of course, a completely bizarre thing to be surprised by in a trial with an insurance company. Plaintiff's lawyer said, ""What they (the defense) did was brought out an A-bomb to swat a fly."
Okay. That's true. But are you really surprised an insurance company would overdefend a personal injury jury trial? This is worse than the frog's surprise when the scorpion bit him.
