The case number is 502024CA003703XXXAMB Div: AE and was filed on April 19, 2024. The plaintiff is seeking damages in excess of $50,000 for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

The plaintiff's lawyer Todd Norbraten of Morgan & Morgan, P.A., states that this negligence led to severe bodily injury to Pertsul including permanent impairment and loss of earnings.

She claims that she suffered physical and mental pain, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, inconvenience, loss of capacity for enjoyment of life among other losses due to the defendants' negligence.
Pertsul seeks judgment against both defendants individually in an amount exceeding $50,000 and requests a trial by jury for all issues triable as of right by a jury.
