    5         Q.   Please state your name for the record.
    6         A.   Quinn Mockridge.
    7         Q.   Where were you on the afternoon of July 22, 2025?
    8         A.   I was driving home from work on Fairmount Road.
    9         Q.   What happened?
   10         A.   I was stopped at the red light on Fairmount Road
   11    when the truck hit me from behind.
   12         Q.   How fast were you going just before the light?
   13         A.   I think I was going maybe five miles an hour.
   14         Q.   So you were still moving when you were hit?
   15         A.   No.  I had come to a full stop by then.
   16         Q.   Were you looking at your phone?
   17              MS. OKAFOR-SYNTH:  Objection.  Form.
   18         Q.   You can answer.
   19         A.   No.  My phone was in my bag on the back seat.
   20         Q.   Did you see the truck before it hit you?
   21         A.   I saw it in the mirror a second before.  It was
   22    not slowing down.
   23         Q.   What did you do right after the crash?
   24         A.   I sat there for a minute.  Then I called 911.
   25         Q.   Did an ambulance come?
                                                            3
    1         A.   Yes.  They took me to Cedar Hollow Medical Center.
    2         Q.   What did you tell them hurt?
    3         A.   My neck.  It was the worst pain I have ever felt.
    4         Q.   Anything else?
    5         A.   My lower back, but not as bad that first day.
    6         Q.   Did you see a doctor after the emergency room?
    7         A.   My family doctor at Alder Creek, about a week
    8    later.  She sent me to physical therapy.
    9         Q.   How often did you go to physical therapy?
   10         A.   Twice a week, at Two Rivers, for a few months.
   11         Q.   Did it help?
   12         A.   Some.  The stiffness got better but the pain did
   13    not go away.
   14         Q.   Did you have any injections?
   15         A.   Yes, at Northgate Pain and Spine.  One in my
   16    lower back in August.
   17         Q.   Before July 22, 2025, had you ever been treated
   18    for neck pain?
   19         A.   Not that I recall.
   20         Q.   Not even by a chiropractor?
   21         A.   No.  I started chiropractic after the crash.
   22         Q.   How is your neck today?
   23         A.   My neck has hurt every single day since the crash.
   24         Q.   Are you working?
   25         A.   I went back part time in October.  I cannot lift
                                                            4
    1    the boxes I used to lift.
    2         Q.   What did you lift before?
    3         A.   Cases of paper, forty pounds or so.  Now I ask for
    4    help with anything over ten.
    5         Q.   Do you still take any medication?
    6         A.   Ibuprofen most days.  The doctor said not to take
    7    it every day, so I try to skip some days.
    8         Q.   Have you had headaches since the crash?
    9         A.   Yes.  I saw a neurologist at Silver Fir for them.
   10         Q.   Are they better now?
   11         A.   They come maybe once a week now.  At first it was
   12    every day.
   13              MR. HALVORSEN-SYNTH:  I have nothing further.
   14              MS. OKAFOR-SYNTH:  No questions.
