Severely Injured Woman Wins $117M in Verdict
The attorneys at Arnold & Itkin took on the case of a woman who was seriously injured in an ambulance accident. The accident took place in 2010. Our client was several months pregnant at the time and began to suffer from serious stomach pains. This prompted her to call for an ambulance to pick her up and take her to the hospital. The driver, from Acadian Ambulance, who picked her up had a spotted driving history as well as poor vision. On the way to the hospital, the driver dropped his device on the ground. He bent over to pick it up, completely taking his eyes off of the road. While he was doing this, the ambulance rear-ended a sugar cane truck. The accident was serious enough to sever our client's spine and cause her traumatic brain injuries. The woman is now confined to a wheelchair with no hope of a full recovery.
At the time the case was reaching a close, our client had already sustained $1.4 million in medical expenses and is expected to have another $30 million throughout the course of her lifetime. Our firm also believed that the woman deserved compensation for the sake of her children. The child she was pregnant with at the time of the accident was born prematurely and could suffer health complications as a result. The woman also had another child. Both of them now are under the care of their grandmother, because our client does not have the physical capability to take care of them. Arnold & Itkin LLP is proud to announce that we were able to see this case to a successful conclusion- a $117 million verdict for the continued care of our client and her children.
