In the Fresno Superior Court case Morehouse v. Simonet, attorney Richard Watters secured a $1,150,000 personal injury settlement on behalf of a financial advisor injured in a shocking vehicle-into-building accident. The incident occurred at the Chase Bank branch located in the River Park Shopping Center in Fresno, California, when a handicap-accessible vehicle unexpectedly crashed through the plate glass windows of the bank.
The plaintiff, who was working inside the bank at the time, suffered a mild traumatic brain injury along with other minor physical injuries. Her portion of the settlement totaled $1,000,000, with an additional $150,000 awarded for her spouse’s loss of consortium claim. Of the total $1.5 million paid by Farmers Insurance Group, $350,000 was distributed to three other injured plaintiffs.
This case highlights the dangers of vehicle-related building crashes and the importance of pursuing compensation for brain injuries and other serious harm caused by negligence.
