Case Overview: In a tragic incident involving a City-Sponsored Rideshare Program, the Vaziri Law Group represented the estate of a deceased dialysis patient who suffered severe injuries during transportation. The outcome reflects our commitment to obtaining justice for the victim and their family.
Incident Details: The decedent, a wheelchair-bound dialysis patient in good health, utilized the city-sponsored rideshare program for routine trips to the clinic. Unfortunately, on the date of the accident, the wheelchair was improperly secured in the van. As a result, it tipped over during a turn, causing the decedent to fall and sustain injuries. Instead of reaching the clinic, the patient was transported to the emergency room (ER).
Injuries and Health Decline:
-
Fall Injuries:
- The fall resulted in injuries to the decedent's hip, leg, body, and head.
- Immediate medical attention was required to assess and address the extent of the injuries.
-
Hospital Admission and Decline:
- Admitted to the hospital following the incident, the decedent's health rapidly declined.
- Despite medical interventions, the patient's condition worsened, leading to a tragic outcome.
Legal Strategy: The Vaziri Law Group conducted a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, focusing on the negligence of the rideshare program in properly securing the wheelchair. Expert testimony and medical records were crucial in establishing the direct link between the improper transportation and the subsequent decline in the decedent's health.
Challenges Faced:
- Proving the negligence of the rideshare program in securing the wheelchair.
- Establishing the causal connection between the fall, hospitalization, and the ultimate decline leading to the decedent's death.
Settlement Negotiations: Our legal team engaged in diligent negotiations with the city-sponsored rideshare program to secure a settlement that adequately addressed the pain, suffering, and wrongful death of the decedent. The goal was to provide just compensation for the family's emotional and financial losses.
Outcome: The Vaziri Law Group successfully negotiated a settlement of $1,850,000.00 for the estate of the decedent. This settlement reflects our dedication to holding responsible parties accountable for their negligence and providing closure and financial support to grieving families.
