Wheelchair Injury Due to Improper Securement

Our client was being transported in a medical transportation vehicle when the driver made a sharp turn, causing the client’s wheelchair to tip over because it had not been properly secured. As a result, our client was thrown from the wheelchair, struck their head against the interior of the vehicle, and suffered a serious head laceration that required emergency medical treatment and stitches. Our personal injury attorneys proved that the transportation company’s employees failed to properly secure the wheelchair before transport and secured a $165,000 settlement for our client.
