The attorneys at Benson & Bingham Personal Injury Lawyers, LLC successfully won compensation for a client who was seriously injured in a bicycle accident that resulted in several extensive, invasive spinal fusion surgeries and ongoing pain. Throughout four years of negotiation, the defense refused to work toward resolution, prompting Mr. Bingham to partner with another law firm and take their client’s case to court. Among other arguments, the attorneys demonstrated the severity of their client’s injuries to the jury with surgical animation, a 3D spine model, and additional imaging. The jury returned with a $14 million award and no liability for Mr. Bingham and Mr. Logan’s client.
Millions of people ride bicycles everyday – for pleasure, for exercise, for transportation. Riding with friends is a favorite pastime for many, and Ben Bingham’s client was no different. He, his wife, and his brother decided one evening to go on a “wing ride” where they rode their bikes from place to place sampling the hot wings at each location. As they were finishing up and heading back to their vehicle to load up the bikes, the driver of a gentlemen’s club SUV grew impatient with their slow speed, honked at them, then proceeded to pass Mr. Bingham’s client. While passing, the SUV clipped the handlebars of the bike causing the client to go down. The SUV then ran him over and attempted to flee the scene, held there only by the client’s brother blocking his path. The driver claimed that the client should have seen him, but the client was blind in his left eye from a past injury. Fearful of large hospital bills, and hospitals in general, the client refused transportation and instead waited until morning to visit an Urgent Care facility. Upon examining him, he was told that he needed to go to an ER. His injuries were substantial, but he was reluctant to have surgery. He visited many practitioners for pain relief, from acupuncturists to pain specialists. Eventually he agreed to the recommended surgery of an anterior fusion of C6-C7, but instead of feeling better, he was still in a lot of pain. It was determined that he needed further stabilization, so he had surgery again to perform an anterior fusion of his C3-T1 and posterior fusion of his C3-T4 spinal bones. Between those two surgeries, he also had surgery to repair his shoulder. He continued to have pain even after the second spine surgery and it was determined that he had developed a MERS infection, so they had to pull the existing hardware out and do a final revision that stretched from his C3-L1, essentially fusing almost his entire cervical and thoracic spine.
The driver claimed that Mr. Bingham’s client staged the accident to try to get money and the defense refused to come to a resolution, never even making a pre-trial offer in four years of litigation. Mr. Bingham then partnered with Geordan Logan of Claggett & Sykes to take it to trial. Mr. Bingham and Mr. Logan employed Focus Graphics to create a massive surgical animation depicting each of the surgeries to be utilized throughout the trial with each of their experts. We also commissioned a 3D model of the spine that would show all of the hardware to give a first-hand view of what the client’s spine truly looked like after all of the surgeries. In addition, CT and X-Ray colorizations were created as standalone exhibits. Halfway through the trial, the defense came to Mr. Bingham and Mr. Logan with an offer of $500,000, but they were confident that the jury wasn’t buying the story the defense had prepared for trial. They were right – the jury returned a verdict of more than $14 million with zero liability for the plaintiff.
“Without the animations and 3D model of our client’s spine, a jury could not possibly appreciate or comprehend the extensive surgical procedures our client endured. The ability to allow jurors to visibly see and touch the 3D model demonstrating our client’s spine which was fused from C3-L1 was priceless.”

To whom it may concern:
Of my many duties, in life, | feel that | am obligated, to share gratitude, in expressing the joyful experience, Benson & Bingham made out of a negative circumstance. | was rear ended, catered to the lack of attention, belonging to another Las Vegas motorist. An employee, of B&B law firm, by the name of Ms. Cassidy, escorted me through the involvement, of loss and pain recovery, with ease. With the comfort, of a held hand, she followed through, with random check-ups, to see that my condition was modifying, at a positive rate, and satisfactory term. Being that | had no previous experience, ina frightening dilemma, it was terrifying, to undergo the process. There’s the worry, of feeling like a bad person, or wondering if your employment associates, will sensibly understand your recent decline, in work performance, because of injury. Also, the fear from first time shock, gained from the momentum, of a rushing automobile, that jerks, its way through your nerves and veins, can leave a person, and their family, in panic. Benson and Bingham make their offices obtainable, whether, you’re circling the freeway, along the outskirts, of town, or you’re in a traffic jam, in the center, of the valley. At the touch, of a blinker, an accessible location, can fulfill your questions, consultation desires, and have you back, on your way, with a day to enjoy. Including, the assistance of Justin Goldberg, and his hi-tech laboratory, loaded with muscular and skeletal reparation devices, | fill better than | did before, the vehicular incident. Once, again, I’d like to lift my heart out, and thank Benson & Bingham’s law firm, for impressing me. They brought more class, dignity, and respect to Las Vegas.
