Ed Walsh and Brad Pollock recently
secured a $2,550,000 settlement for their 17 year old female client
who was struck and rolled over by an unattended and driverless van. The
defendants left the van unattended and in neutral at the top of a driveway
with a steep incline. The young lady suffered a severe degloving injury to
her left leg when the driverless van rolled down the driveway, striking the
student and rolling over her left leg as she pushed her fellow student out of
harm's way. Although she has undergone
numerous plastic and reconstructive surgeries, she has been left with a
significant cosmetic deformity.
The trial attorneys retained a vocational rehabilitation expert and life
care planner in order to fully illustrate and establish the future care needs
of their worthy young client. In this way, and through the use of their skilled
mediation techniques, they were able to achieve a settlement that will provide
for the future care and educational needs of their wonderful young client.
As an expression of her deep gratitude, our young client gave Ed and Brad a
bronze statue of "Justice" along with cards expressing her heart-felt
thanks. Her words of thanks follow:
"...I
just want to let you know thanks a lot for everything you have done for me. The
help I have
received from you will last life long in securing my future for the
rest of my life. You have
always guided me just like any other parents would.
You have always put in your 100% to help
me out. You took care of me in
situations that you didn t have to "
