Verdict news | December 11, 2025
Jury Verdict Alert reported a $1,975,000 verdict on December 11, 2025, in Alfredo Mendoza v. Rhonda Rothstein. The case arose from a January 2019 East Los Angeles rear-end collision. The report described disputed aggravation of previously stable spinal degeneration, continuing symptoms and a later C5-C6 artificial disc replacement. The defense challenged injury severity, the need for surgery and future treatment.
Compare symptoms before and after the collision
Prior degeneration should be disclosed accurately. The useful comparison is what symptoms and limitations existed before the crash, what changed afterward and what the treating records show over time. Preserve earlier imaging as well as later studies so medical experts can evaluate that history. A gap between the collision and surgery should be explained through the treatment chronology, including conservative care and the reason for changing treatment.
