Renton Personal Injury Success Story
Jane Doe v. Health Care Center (Superior Court – confidentiality settlement). Patient suffered from horrific headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred and double vision–was told she had the flu. Over several weeks no imaging studies were ordered of the patient’s brain to rule out an intracranial bleed or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Because of the failure of multiple healthcare providers to consider a subarachnoid hemorrhage and to rule one out by ordering a CT or MRI scan of the brain, the patient’s aneurysm ruptured, causing permanent brain damage.
Total settlement $2,500,000+

Renton Hit-and-Run Suspect Who Injured One Arrested
Shortly after 7 p.m. on Monday, July 4, a hit-and-run car accident on Logan Avenue North near the intersection with North 10th Street sent one woman to Valley Medical Center.
The woman was a passenger in the car that was hit. Neither driver was harmed. Details of how the crash occurred are not yet available.
The suspect, an African American man in his 30s, fled the scene after the accident, then stashed his bright-orange polo shirt in a trash can in The Landing.
Renton Police Officer Randy Jensen caught up with the hit-and-run suspect, who was later arrested for negligent driving in the first degree, and for hit-and-run.
Renton Police, Renton Fire and Emergency Services, and The Landing security responded to the accident.
Incidents like this are why people file car accident lawsuits. You shouldn’t be responsible for the financial impact an event like this can have on your life.

Renton Bartender Who Lost Vision Begins Mixing Drinks Again
Seven years after a horrible accident took her vision, Maria F. has returned to the job she loved: bartending.
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.”
