• Jane Doe v. Health Care Center (Superior Court – confidentiality settlement). Patient suffered from horrific headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred and double vision–was told she had the flu. Over several weeks no imaging studies were ordered of the patient’s brain to rule out an intracranial bleed or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Because of the failure of multiple healthcare providers to consider a subarachnoid hemorrhage and to rule one out by ordering a CT or MRI scan of the brain, the patient’s aneurysm ruptured, causing permanent brain damage.

A. In the state of Washington, this can vary considerably. In general, you can expect to collect medical costs incurred before the wrongful death took place, the cost of the funeral and burial, loss of income and benefits you would have received during the balance of the person’s expected lifetime, pain and suffering as the survivors, mental anguish, loss of companionship compensation, loss of protection and loss of inheritance if this would have occurred at a later date. Punitive damages can only be collected if malicious intent can be proven.

Testimony showed Jordan Case of Tualatin was unarmed and high on hallucinogenic mushrooms when he was killed. The lawsuit centered on whether Case entered the patrol car of Deputy Glenn Howard and was reaching for the deputy’s assault rifle.

Lawyers for Case’s family pointed to witness testimony that Case was never in the car and never reached for the rifle. They contend Howard used excessive force.

But Howard’s lawyer William Blair said the deputy acted reasonably and that evidence supports Howard’s version of the events.

“We’re never going to be able to get into Jordan Case’s head,” Blair said earlier. “What we have to do is react to his behavior.”

Jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict after two days of deliberations. U.S. District Judge Garr King said Monday the case can be retried in the fall.

“It’s clear that an injustice occurred in the death of Jordan Case, and we will pursue it in every opportunity and every venue as aggressively as we can,” said Case family attorney Steven Sherlag. He added he will “absolutely” retry the case.

Howard’s lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment after jurors failed to agree.

The Washington County district attorney’s office reviewed the shooting and declined to take the case to a grand jury.

Testimony showed that after consuming the mushrooms, Case entered the apartment of a female neighbor.

The woman, who did not know Case, called 9-1-1 about the intruder and told dispatchers he had admitted he was high on mushrooms. He acted strangely, would not leave, and kept trying to touch her pants and hug her, the neighbor testified. She said she got into a scuffle with the man but managed to pin him and choke him until police arrived.

The plaintiffs contended that police officers used stun guns and a beanbag rifle on Case several times but ignored opportunities to take physical control of him, both inside and outside the apartment.

Howard testified that he used his stun gun on Case as the man came toward him. But the probes didn’t immobilize Case. The deputy said he then saw Case reach into the patrol car, touching the assault rifle in its locked rack and then reaching to the floorboard for the button that releases the rack. The deputy testified that he fired his handgun and hit Case in the chest.

The young man slumped to a seated position outside the car for a couple of minutes. Then, Howard said, Case sprang off the ground and was reaching into the vehicle again. Howard said he fired additional shots, one of which hit Case in the back of the head. A medical examiner testified that Case died immediately.

Generally speaking, when one is in an accident involving a motor vehicle, there are certain rules of thumb to follow:

• Do not give a recorded or written statement.
• Take photographs of the property damage and have them developed at once. Take photographs at the scene with your cell phone to show the property damage in the street and where the cars end up after the initial impact and collision before you move your car. Do not use a Polaroid.
• Do not sign anything without a lawyer reviewing it first!
• Do not discuss any matters concerning your injuries with the at-fault insurance company. You are under no obligation to give this information and should discuss nothing but the damage to your car and the need for a rental car or “loss of use” compensation. Remember to be on guard for the clever insurance adjuster who may try to trap you into giving an incomplete statement. Simply do not discuss the accident with the claims adjuster.
