Inmate Assault Victim Settles for $1,414,418 After Jail Personnel Refused Repeated Requests for Medical Attention

N/A

OUTCOME: $1,414,418

Our client, a 35-year-old man named James, was arrested while he was extremely intoxicated early in the morning on February 3, 2017 and was subsequently booked into County Jail in Missouri. Later that ... night, James suffered a vicious and unprovoked attack at the hands of a fellow inmate that left him with life-threatening injuries. Despite repeated requests for medical attention, jail personnel did nothing to get him the help he so desperately needed. James ultimately sought assistance from three highly-regarded area attorneys to bring a lawsuit against jail staff and the county for the attack and lack of medical supervision that followed the attack. Those three lawyers each declined to represent him in a lawsuit. That is when Foster Wallace, LLC stepped in and helped him obtain the compensation—and the justice—he deserved. When we had enough information, we sent a demand letter asking for the insurance policy limits of $1,414,418 (this was the sovereign immunity cap in 2017 plus $1,000,000.00), as neither jail personnel or the county itself had significant assets to collect from. The defendants accepted our settlement offer and James elected to structure a portion of his settlement, allowing him to receive monthly payments until 2049.

Wrongful death

Foster Wallace Settles Car Accident Case for $1,000,000

N/A

OUTCOME: $1,000,000

In this case, a young mother of three was involved in a horrific car wreck in Belton, Missouri that caused her to spend over two months in the hospital before unfortunately passing away. Her husband hi ... red our firm to pursue potential claims arising from the wreck, including for wrongful death. After engaging Foster Wallace, LLC, we quickly sent out a spoliation letter and was able to preserve certain evidence including video of the wreck from a neighboring business and downloads from the two vehicles that showed the speeds of the two cars. At the time of the wreck, the young woman was turning left at a stoplight when another party going through the intersection collided with the decedent. The facts were disputed, and the defendants did not admit liability but through Foster Wallace's investigation, we obtained enough evidence, including video from the grocery store and electronic data from both cars, to convince the defendants and their insurance company to offer up the full policy limits of $1,000,000. Because a death was involved, a Cass County Judge had to approve the settlement, which he did. While our client is obviously distraught about the loss of his young wife and mother, he was very happy that we were able to obtain this result for him and his young family.

Car accident

Kansas City, Missouri car wreck on I-435 highway settles for $1,100,000.

N/A

OUTCOME: $1,100,000.00

In this case, Foster Wallace received a call from the client a few days after a summer 2020 car wreck that took place on I-435 in Kansas City, Missouri. The wreck led our client to go to the emergency ... room a day after the wreck with back pain. What complicated matters was that our client, a passenger in the vehicle that was struck, was not even listed on the police report and the insurance company denied complete liability. Our client hired us and we were able to investigate the case quickly. Our client’s case was further complicated as she had an unrelated surgery on her foot just months after the car wreck that delayed a lot of her back treatment. Eventually, however, it was determined that she needed a surgery for the back pain she was experiencing. Our client eventually underwent a L5-S1 fusion and L5-S1 bilateral laminectomy, foraminotomy, and medial facetectomy. Because the insurance company would not offer much, if any money, our law firm filed suit in Jackson County, Missouri - Independence. After the discovery process concluded and after expert witness depositions were taken, the case settled at mediation for $1,100,000.00. This was a life changing result for our client. Our client is thrilled with the result and what this means for her future.
