Ryan, Ryan & Viglione attorney Michael Viglione recently finalized confidential settlement of a wheelchair accident injury claim. The case involved an impalement injury that a terminally ill patient sustained in a hospital while being transferred from her bed to a wheelchair. A protruding steel rod on one of the chair’s legs stabbed through the back of the plaintiff’s left leg and went all the way through the front of her leg. The injury significantly affected the plaintiff’s quality of life and caused profound pain and suffering over the final 6 months of her life.
