In just a few terrifying seconds, one family’s life was changed forever. A husband and wife, both 65 years old, were on their way to the airport to pick up their daughter when another car suddenly changed lanes and hit their vehicle. Their vehicle rolled over and came to rest on an exit ramp on Interstate-95.
The husband was treated at the scene for his injuries. His wife was not as fortunate. When the vehicle rolled, a manufacturing defect caused the roof to crush in on her side. She suffered a severe spinal cord injury and is now paralyzed from the neck down.
Before the accident, this couple was looking forward to many active years exploring the mountains in North Carolina, where they had just purchased a retirement home. Now, in a wheelchair, their retirement years will be much different then they imagined.
Florida product liability attorneys Joseph J. Reiter and Lance C. Ivey obtained a confidential settlement from the vehicle manufacturer to help this family with the ongoing care and support they will need for the rest of their lives.
