Summary:
McLemore Law PLLC successfully defended Wesley N. Kewley in a motor vehicle accident lawsuit involving serious allegations of pregnancy-related injuries and emotional distress. After confronting the plaintiff with medical records during deposition, McLemore Law secured the withdrawal of the most severe claims, leading to a substantial reduction in damages and eventual dismissal of the case.
Description:
Case Name: Mersudina Beciragic vs. Wesley N. Kewley
Court: Eighth Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee at Nashville
Case No.: 18C2971
The case stemmed from a May 26, 2017 motor vehicle accident in Nashville. Plaintiff Mersudina Beciragic initially sought $275,000.00 in damages, alleging that Wesley N. Kewley caused an accident resulting in the premature birth of her child, emotional distress, physical pain, lost wages, and loss of enjoyment of life.
McLemore Law PLLC conducted extensive discovery and deposed the plaintiff on January 30, 2020. During the deposition, the firm confronted her with medical documentation that undermined her pregnancy-related and emotional distress claims. As a result, the plaintiff withdrew those claims, limiting the case to soft-tissue injuries with comparatively minor medical expenses.
Following this strategic litigation development, McLemore Law secured a significantly reduced settlement value and obtained dismissal of the case against Mr. Kewley on March 10, 2021.
