DESCRIPTION OF CASE
The plaintiff was a front seatbelted passenger in a car driven by his cousin which lost control, striking a median and then crossing three travel lanes, striking a guard rail and becoming airborne. The car ultimately struck a tree. The plaintiff had a short loss of consciousness (as witnessed by a non party witness). The rear seated passenger died in the accident, but was not represented by this law firm and was not involved in this settlement.
