Renton Auto-Accident Lawyer Achieves $850,000 Settlement for Client
Spinal Cord injury to Quadriplegic Patient: A quadriplegic passenger strapped and secured in his van suffered a cervical strain-whiplash injury in a car accident. The 72-year-old retired Boeing engineer suffered a partial loss in the use of his neck caused by a chronic cervical strain and muscle spasms. This gentleman’s loss was significant to him as his neck was his sole remaining source of independence. Our client uses a wand, held between his teeth in his mouth, to operate his wheel chair by manipulating the wand between his teeth to operate touch controls on his wheel chair, to operate his computer, and to operate other aids in daily life. His wife was also hurt in the car accident and the UIM insurer, State Farm, offered only$35,000 the week before UIM arbitration. The parties elected to arbitrate her UIM claim. The UIM arbitrator awarded $101,000 plus taxable costs for the wife’s loss of her husband’s consortium and for his wife’s soft tissue injuries suffered in the same MVA.
Total award: $850,000+
