Closed Head Injury
The following are case examples of closed head injuries and some of the closed head injury cases Rob has handled clients in the past:
•Pierce v. Reliance Insurance: A commercial truck driver suffered a brain injury and underwent spinal surgery with placement of steel rods in his back.
Total Settlement: $750,000 prior to an Uninsured Motorist Arbitration.
*******
• Staub v. CIG Corporation, (King County Superior Court ) The injured worker fell in excess of ten feet to a concrete floor below because he was not given fall protection. The worker suffered a traumatic brain injury. Because we pursued a third party claim for the worker, we recovered an additional settlement for him, in addition to L&I/worker’s compensation benefits, in an amount of $335,000.
*******
• Jane Doe v. Truck Co: Jane Doe was rear ended by a truck and trailer and suffered a mild traumatic brain injury without any objective findings.
Total Settlement: $325,000.
