$45,000,000 Motorcycle Accident Settlement

Описание: This case made a big difference for a family that needed it.

When his family contacted us, the lives of David Turnbull* and his parents had been changed forever by a motorcycle accident.  David’s motorcycle had been struck in the rear by another driver and as a result of the collision, David could no longer walk, speak, or care for himself.  In therapy sessions he struggled to move even a finger or a toe.  He would never walk, talk, or write again.  He was twenty-five.

That turns lives upside down.  David had been a fun-loving, hard-working young man; a youth pastor in his church; and a leader in his community.  His life was reduced to a fraction of what it had been.  His parents’ lives were forever changed too.  Keeping David alive required not only extensive medical treatment but also around-the-clock care.  Once David left the hospital, there was nobody to give that care except Mr. and Mrs. Turnbull.  So they did.  They fed him through a tube, washed him with sponges, drove him to therapy appointments, brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and changed his diapers.  They learned to transfer him from his bed to his wheelchair and back again.  Most of the time they couldn’t leave the house together.  The hardest part was worrying about what would happen to David once they were gone.

Mr. Turnbull once told us, “People ask us how we do all this. I ask them, how could we not?”

The financial strain was immense.  Insurance didn’t cover everything.  The Turnbulls dug into their savings.  They spent hours and hours on the phone with medical providers and medical insurers, trying to get David the care they needed.  They provided lots of David’s care themselves.  They bought a used minivan that had been modified to accept a wheelchair but struggled to keep the older van running.  They couldn’t afford all of the medical care and treatment alternatives that might help their son, some of which wasn’t covered by insurance.

In the end, after lots of obstacles and hard work, this case settled for $45 million. That money will a huge difference in the lives of the Turnbulls. It can't undo the tragedy, but David will receive all of the medical care he needs.
