Our client required medical assistance when traveling to appointments. She was picked up by an employee of a medical transport company, but the employee failed to fasten the belt necessary to secure our client in her wheelchair. When the employee later pushed the wheelchair with significant force to overcome one of its wheels which had become stuck, our client was propelled forward and struck her face on the ground.As a result of the incident, our client suffered a broken jaw, cuts and bruises on her face, a loss of a tooth, and other injuries.We filed suit in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia and conducted extensive discovery before the case settled out of court for $215,000.00.
