A collision ensued, resulting in significant damage to both vehicles. The plaintiff was placed under anesthesia for reduction of his shoulder dislocation. Later imaging studies revealed he also suffered a torn labrum that required surgical repair. After three shoulder procedures, the plaintiff continued to suffer significant range of motion deficits and weakness. As a result, the U.S. Army submitted plaintiff to a medical review board which found him to be physical unfit for continued service and issued him an honorable discharge. Plaintiff had intended to continue service in the army until reaching full military retirement age. Initial mediation was unsuccessful, but continued efforts by Judge Thomas Shadrick (Ret.) facilitated settlement in the weeks preceding trial.
