Transportation of Disabled Persons

Fresno, California Van Accident Attorney

Day care facilities and community work programs for disabled persons have a duty to care for and protect the wheelchair bound individuals they transport. Most facilities use specially equipped vans requiring that the individuals be properly restrained.

Van accidents causing a collision can cause serious harm to handicapped individuals trusting in the transport service. If someone you love has suffered an injury or death as a result of a negligent transport service, contact Carl L. Brown.

At the Law Offices of Carl L. Brown, we take legal action against insurance companies and the companies that provide care for disabled people. Usually companies are self-insured and have insurance available in the event of a serious injury. I will fully investigate the facts of your case and collect and preserve necessary evidence including, witness statements, medical documentation, and police reports.

Van accidents are fairly common and are often caused by negligent caregivers who are improperly trained and vans that are not properly equipped. An experienced lawyer must investigate injuries sustained during the transportation of disabled persons. At the Law Offices of Carl L. Brown, we offer over 30 years of experience in investigating, litigating and trying cases involving transportation injuries.

I am experienced in handling van accident cases causing serious injuries to disabled persons, including:

  • Quadriplegia
  • Paraplegia
  • Wrongful death
  • Brain injury

Special needs trust

In many cases, I will seek to obtain a special needs trust in order to accommodate the medical expenses required as a result of the injuries sustained.

State benefits and personal injury compensation

A special needs trust can be created to facilitate special care where a catastrophic injury producing event is not accommodated by government aid. For more information about state benefits and securing a special needs trust after an accident, contact Carl L. Brown.
