She also sustained soft-tissue to her neck, and lacerations to her forehead and left shoulder. Tosh was subsequently airlifted to San Jose Medical Center, where she was treated for her . Plaintiff’s counsel claimed that Tosh was left with scarring to the left side of her forehead and to her left shoulder as a result of the lacerations.
