Accident at a Special Event in Fairfax County
On April 1, our client was injured while attending a rowing regatta for Fairfax County high schools, a special event where her son was competing. The event organizers provided transportation services, which included shuttling spectators from a satellite parking area to the viewing location.
Circumstances Leading to the Injury
The transportation service hired by the event organizers employed a driver who lacked a valid commercial vehicle license. This oversight became critical when the driver, navigating along Loisvale Place—a rough, unpaved gravel road with built-in speed bumps—approached a speed bump at an excessively high speed. Despite the visibility of the speed bump and the driver’s familiarity with the route from multiple trips that day and in previous years, the unsafe speed caused our client to be thrown into the air and land forcefully back onto her seat.
Injuries and Consequences
The impact of the landing resulted in significant pain and injuries to our client, leading to substantial medical expenses and lost wages due to her inability to work during the recovery period. The injuries disrupted her daily activities and quality of life, necessitating a lengthy and painful recovery process.
Legal Resolution and Settlement
After a thorough legal process which included a long battle with the defendant’s insurance company, the case was settled favorably with our client being awarded $285,000. This settlement compensated her for her medical expenses, lost wages, and the pain and suffering endured due to the accident.
