“In the case of Doe versus the County of Los Angeles. The plaintiff and a friend were walking peacefully down Sunset Blvd, when they heard sirens approaching behind them.”
“A patrol car driven by a Sheriff’s deputy along with the passenger next to him. And it was a response that he didn’t need to take because there were other vehicles, other patrol vehicles, much closer than his. But he was sort of a cowboy. And he decided to respond to this with lights and sirens, at a high rate of speed.”
“According to our investigation, the patrol car lost control after clipping another vehicle, collided with the plaintiff and his friend, and eventually struck a tree. We assert that the deputy violated department-policy by passing a vehicle on the right, which was trying to lawfully yield to the Sheriff’s deputy’s lights, and sirens. The firm fought hard to prove the irreversible damage to his brain and the effects it would have on his work and life moving forward.”
