Description:
Michael Brady sued Multicare Ambulance on a negligence theory for the injuries and damages that he claimed that he sustained din a 2004 accident in which a Multicare employee transporting him to physical therapy swung the vehicle's door into his crutches, causing him to fall and re-break the foot that he had previously broken in 1999. Before the second fracture, Brady was on crutches, but since the second accident he has been wheelchair bound and his ability to care for himself has been severely impaired. Brady claimed that the driver of the ambulance that was supposed to transport him to a physical therapy session had not received any training and had no instructions on how to properly load and unload patients. Brady developed reflex sympathetic dystrophy from the first fracture. After the second fracture the RSD spread to other parts of his body.
The defenses asserted by Defendant are not available.
Outcome: Plaintiff's verdict for $14.5 million with a finding that Plaintiff was 20% at fault for his own injuries reducing the verdict to $11.6 million.
