Press Release: Confidential Settlement Obtained For Man Who Goes Blind From Optic Neuropathy After B

Written by Las Vegas Injury Lawyer Tuesday, 28 July 2009 08:17

John Doe, a weekend warrior, looked forward to building a cement walkway on a beautiful Saturday morning. A cement mixing truck arrived as requested. Doe guided the cement mixer into proper position. He instructed the driver to slowly pull forward while simultaneously dumping cement while he raked the cement. Unfortunately, the driver got in the mixing truck and suddenly negligently reversed the vehicle into Doe. Doe’s body was thrown into the garage wall where his arm was trapped amongst stucco and wire. Emergency rescue was required to extricate his mangled arm from the construction wire. Doe was rushed to the trauma center in dire condition.

Upon arrival at the hospital, trauma specialists focused their attention on saving his mangled arm from amputation. Miraculously, the doctors successfully were able to achieve blood flow and prevent amputation. Unfortunately, as a result of the impact from the vehicle, Doe suffered optic neuropathy in both eyes. Basically, the optic nerve which sends messages between the eyes and brain and allows people to see suffered irreversible inflammation.

Once contacted, Las Vegas accident attorneys Jack Bernstein and Scott L. Poisson took immediate actions to preserve the accident scene and the important evidence. An accident reconstructionist and biomechanical engineer were retained to assist with the investigation. Jack Bernstein and Scott L. Poisson were able to piece through the evidence and successfully persuade the insurance company that the driver was negligent and that this was a truck accident that should never have happened. As a result of the driver’s negligence, Doe’s vision will never be restored and he is now permanently blind. Although Jack Bernstein and Scott Poisson can never give their client’s sight back, through their perseverance and strategic planning, they were able to favorably resolve this matter for their client.
