Wrongful death case involving a pedestrian in a cross walk.

EXHIBIT A

“The 81 year old decedent was crossing the street in a crosswalk when she was struck by a motor vehicle driven by the defendant.

At the scene the decedent was conscious and remained so for approximately 90 minutes, but later died of multiple internal injuries at a trauma hospital within three hours of the accident.

The daughter of the decedent suffered a loss of her mother’s society, companionship and comfort as a result of her death.

The plaintiff alleged that the defendant was negligent in his failure to keep a proper look out, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, and use of a cell phone in his hand in violation of the law.

The defendant did not contest liability but hired an expert to contest conscious pain and suffering and life expectancy based on the decedent’s underlying medical condition. Suit was filed and the matter was resolved at mediation approximately one year after the accident.”
