Case Details

Our client was an experienced bicyclist in her late 60s. She rode her bike downhill on a Bainbridge Island road and unbeknownst to her, near the bottom of the hill, was a newly installed water berm. The berm had recently been installed by the City of Bainbridge Island. Its design and construction was negligent because it did not conform to appropriate construction codes, nor did it have sufficient warning of its placement. Our client struck the berm and went flying - crashing violently into the pavement face first. She suffered a traumatic brain injury (with loss of consciousness), facial fractures, multiple fractures to her left hand/arm, and other soft tissue injuries. Following the injury she endured multiple surgeries, tissue infections, and permanent facial disfigurement and chronic pain.
