Our client was riding as a passenger on a care bus in Topeka when she was not properly secured in her wheelchair. During the ride, she fell out of her wheelchair and landed on her back.
The fall caused injuries to her upper and middle back, muscle spasms, and abrasions, as well as a small lung contusion. The incident also worsened existing neck pain and a pre-existing cervical spine condition.
As the deadline to file a lawsuit approached, we made a $250,000 demand and continued communicating with the insurance company to move the claim forward. The insurer initially offered $225,000. After further negotiations, we secured a $240,000 auto accident settlement for our client.
