From Robert F. Redmond, Jr. of Richmond, Va. (McGuire, Woods, etc.), who is a member of the State Bar of Texas, this excerpt from his deposition of a personal injury plaintiff "who claimed soft tissue neck and back injuries subsequent to a very minor rear end impact."

Q. What's the longest you have been able to sit and read in the past year without pain?

A. An hour.

Q. After an hour, no matter whether you have a flare-up or not, you suffer pain; is that correct?

A. No.

Q. Well, what happens after an hour if you're not having a flare-up?

A. I usually don't read that long.
