Patrol Car Crash
Seattle, WA: (Nov-06-07) The family of Julia Terlinchamp brought charges against the Washington State Patrol, after a state trooper plowed his patrol car into Terlinchamp's car, leaving her seriously injured in 2004. The suit stated that the accident occurred a day after Christmas, when the trooper's car came out of a side alley on Capitol Hill, T-boning her car. Reports show that Terlinchamp suffered traumatic brain injuries and it was a challenge to talk, listen, and think. The family also accused the Seattle Police Department and the investigating agency in the accident, of refusing to turn over even the most basic of information. The case maintains that material about the crash is still being kept from the family.
As part of a settlement reached, the Washington State Patrol agreed to pay Julia roughly $4 million to resolve the personal injury lawsuit. Sources stated that more than half will go toward staggering medical bills and reimbursing those who helped the family out financially before the settlement. [KING 5 NEWS]
