Demetrica Quenta Scott was awarded $3,000,000 in a trial in Hot Springs, Ark. in a lawsuit over permanent injuries that she received in a near-drowning accident in the hotel swimming pool.The allegations of the complaint were that the hotel was negligent for improperly maintaining its pool. Demetrica dove in and couldn't find her way to the surface because the pool water was too cloudy.
Several people tried to rescue her but were unsuccessful because the water was so murky.She was underwater for over 5-6 minutes and it took the paramedics about 15 minutes to get a vital sign.
The victim suffered severe brain damage via lack of oxygen and now has to be taken care of in a nursing home and cannot communicate with her family.
Brain injuries are the most serious kind of injury because it cost so much to take care of the patient in the future. It is not unusual for the future medical bills and care to run more than $10,000,000. The last brain injury case that my law firm handled settled for payments adding up to over $16,500,000 guaranteed. The case involved a truck accident where the victim ran into the back of a laundry truck which was on the shoulder of the road.
Not every attorney has the skill,knowledge and experience to obtain the full amount of damages for the brain injured victim. An attorney who specializes in brain injury accidents is required. The MS Accident Lawyer must have a track record of obtaining multi-million settlements.
