Wrongful Death Settlement #1

Our client’s loved one was a passenger in a non-emergency medical transport vehicle in California when she was not properly secured with a seatbelt or safety restraint. During transport, she fell inside the vehicle and suffered a broken leg – an injury that began a painful and prolonged decline. She passed away years later, and the family pursued a wrongful death claim, arguing that the trauma of the fall and its medical consequences were a direct contributing factor to her death.

Non-emergency medical transport companies operating in California are required by law to properly secure all passengers, particularly elderly or medically vulnerable individuals who rely entirely on their caregivers and transport providers for their safety. The failure to follow basic safety protocols in this case had devastating and irreversible consequences for an entire family.

Feher Law advocated tirelessly on behalf of the family, arguing that the transport company’s negligence set in motion a chain of events that robbed them of their loved one. The case settled for $1,900,000, providing a measure of justice for the family and holding the transport provider accountable for the preventable harm their negligence caused. If you lost a loved one due to negligence by a medical transport company or another party in California, Feher Law is here to help you pursue a wrongful death claim.
