Car accident victim
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
$6,000,000+
Our infant client was riding in his mother's car when her brakes failed
and the vehicle hit a wall. His car seat did not secure him properly,
and he suffered injuries that led to quadriplegia with limited use of
his hands. He will need to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Results:
Edgar Snyder & Associates sued the manufacturer of the car seat and
secured a $6,000,000+ settlement for our client. This meant that our
client's mother was able to stay home and be a full-time caregiver for
her son. Also, it allowed their home to be retrofitted for a wheelchair,
and they installed a pool for hydrotherapy. In addition, the lawsuit
convinced the manufacturer that their car seats weren't safe and they
are no longer on the market.
