Court

Attorneys

David W. Lipcon and Mitchell J Lipcon, of Lipcon & Lipcon P.A.,

An adult day-care center agreed to pay $875,000.00 to the family of an elderly woman who falls out of her wheelchair while riding in the defendant’s van.

J.A., 73, was a passenger in a W.C.C. Day Care Center for the Elderly van when the driver stopped short. The lap belt that attached her wheelchair to the floor of the van became loose, causing her to slide out and hit the floor when the van stopped.

The driver acknowledged he never used a shoulder strap and was never trained to do so.

The Plaintiff sustained a severe leg injury.
