Accident Victim Wins $7 Million Injury Lawsuit With King County
Posted on Jan 12, 2010
King County reached a settlement with a Metro Transit accident victim this week before the personal injury trail was scheduled to begin on Monday in Seattle. It is one of the largest settlements of its kind in county history.
The transit vehicle accident occurred in November of 2007 when 33-year-old Elizabeth Newman was driving her Vespa scooter to her nursing job at the Swedish Memorial Hospital in Seattle. The accident occurred at the intersection of 12th Avenue East and East Thomas Street when a Metro Transit bus failed to yield the right of way to Newman and struck her vehicle.
Newman suffered extensive internal injuries including several leg fractures. She was transported to Harborview Medical Center in a coma and still suffers from the consequences of her injury. She has not been able to return to her job as an operating room nurse since the van accident.
A spokesperson for the county told reporters that the county felt that the settlement was fair considering the circumstances and that the accident was a tragic and unfortunate one.
The driver of the Metro van, 57-year-old Ricky Moore, was charged with injury with a vehicle, a misdemeanor assault, though the charges were later dropped.
The city of Seattle became involved in the case after King County put forth that the intersection where the scooter was hit is prone to accidents and injuries due to its poor design. The details of the settlement have not been shared.
