The defense says it probably will not appeal a Walton County jury’s $800, 000 awarded to a woman more than six years after she was involved in what initially seemed a relatively minor car wreck in Madison.

Sheila Greene was a 42-year-old employee of the U.S. Forest Services traveling from Monticello to Gainesville on July 8, 2003, when a car driven by Steve Spivey pulled in front of her.

“She hit him doing about 35[mph],” said Eric J. Hertz, one of Greene’s attorneys. “She went to the hospital complaining about her ankle hurting. Then a few weeks later, she went back complaining about lower back pain.”
Over the course of the next three years, Greene underwent chiropractic treatment, epidural injections and, in 2007, surgery to fuse degenerative discs in her back, at which point she had to stop working, he said. She has since had another surgery to remove some of that hardware.
