$2,100,000 settlement for head trauma

A $2,100,000 settlement was obtained by John Elliott Leighton on behalf of a teenager who suffered a closed head trauma from boating accident at a resort hotel in Broward County, Florida.  The young woman suffered a facial laceration and closed head trauma, but did not require hospitalization after emergency room treatment.  MRI and CT scans did not reveal any organic brain injury but she continued to experience disorientation and difficulty concentrating.
