It was expected that she could not return to her job at Boeing for the rest of her life and a loss of earning capacity claim was asserted for the Boeing worker. Given that she was 53 and not be able to work until retirement, her economic loss claim was substantial, e.g. loss of earnings for at least another 10 years.

This case was settled one month prior to trial in Snohomish County, Washington.

Renton police said they and Renton fire units were called to the 200 block of Logan Avenue North, near Renton Memorial Stadium, just after 5 p.m. after multiple reports of the collision. First responders found the man unconscious and unresponsive.

Police said initial indications are that the man was riding across lanes of traffic on Logan, in the middle of the block, when a vehicle traveling on the street struck him. It appears that the vehicle was traveling the posted speed limit, police said.

The man was not wearing a helmet and hasn’t been identified, police said. He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

Maria was driving down Interstate 405 near Renton, Washington in 2004 when a piece of furniture flew off the back of another vehicle, smashing her windshield and striking her in the face.

She lost her vision and suffered many other facial injuries.

Before the accident the University of Washington graduate was bartending to make money.

She recently told friend Rita D. that she missed bartending.

After Rita opened The Bridge, a new restaurant and bar in West Seattle, she asked Maria to join her behind the bar for a few hours on Mondays.

“She took me up on the offer and she loves it,” Rita said.

Maria works about three hours a week and does it on a voluntary basis.

“It pretty much fills the void for me,” she said. “I feel like I’m helping out.”

She quickly memorized the soda gun and the location of every bottle in her corner of the bar.

She says each bottle has its own feel.

“Nothing else feels like Makers,” she said while lifting the whiskey bottle.

Then she puts it down and lifts a vodka bottle.

“Nothing else feels like Ketel One.”

Maria makes the drinks, then hands them off to a server.

She is not able to pour beer yet because the bar has 18 taps, but she plans on memorizing those in the near future.

“I love sitting back in the darkness just watching her do her magic,” said Rob D., Maria’s significant other. “I like to say that if you ever believe that something can’t be done, tell Maria and get out of the way.”

Other places have approached Maria about guest bartending at their bars.

“It doesn’t surprise me that she can do that because she has already been through so much,” Rita said. “It’s just who she is.”

It’s always fantastic to see someone recover the way Maria has. Congratulations Maria.

This chapter of the Renton Rules of the Road identifies the laws for abiding by traffic control devices. It’s very common that failure to abide by a traffic control device is the cause of a Renton car accident that either causes serious injury or sometimes death. View the traffic control signal legend for a full list of the devices.

(1) The driver of any vehicle, every bicyclist, and every pedestrian shall obey the instructions of any official traffic control device applicable thereto placed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, unless otherwise directed by a traffic or police officer, subject to the exception granted the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle in this chapter.

(2) No provision of this chapter for which official traffic control devices are required shall be enforced against an alleged violator if at the time and place of the alleged violation an official device is not in proper position and sufficiently legible or visible to be seen by an ordinarily observant person. Whenever a particular section does not state that official traffic control devices are required, such section shall be effective even though no devices are erected or in place.

(3) Whenever official traffic control devices are placed in position approximately conforming to the requirements of this chapter, such devices shall be presumed to have been so placed by the official act or direction of lawful authority, unless the contrary shall be established by competent evidence.

(4) Any official traffic control device placed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and purporting to conform to the lawful requirements pertaining to such devices shall be presumed to comply with the requirements of this chapter, unless the contrary shall be established by competent evidence.
