Our client climbed aboard the church-provided van. It was sent to their neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, to collect constituents. They were on their way to volunteer at the church on what should have been a weekend morning filled with community and worship. Instead, it became a life-changing day for our client and their family due to the brain damage that nearly took their life. Adamson Ahdoot’s attorneys obtained a $9 million TBI settlement for the victim and their family.
While they transported our client to the volunteer site, the van they were in stopped and parked illegally. This blocked the southbound lane of the street and impeded the flow of traffic.
The van did so to pick up another passenger. Upon exiting the illegally parked vehicle, our client attempted to cross the street to help a friend board the van safely.
As they crossed the street, a separate vehicle swerved into the opposite lane to get around the van and struck our client. This caused severe traumatic brain injuries and left them in a state of quadriplegia. As a result of this pedestrian accident, our client now has permanent brain damage. At this time, the victim remains in a 24-hour care facility. The family filed a TBI lawsuit to obtain a settlement to pay for medical expenses resulting from the accident.
