Woman Injured by Falling Utility Pole

A woman who was injured in Indianapolis when a utility pole crashed down onto her vehicle has settled her case following mediation against the power company. The pole had been damaged in a previous crash and was supposed to have been repaired by the power company. The utility company recently admitted they were negligent in performing the repair, leading to the accident. The injured woman suffered a fracture of one of the bones in her neck, which never healed properly, causing ongoing pain and disability. WKW became involved in the case after the first mediation which was unsuccessful. Additional work was done by WKW, which resulted in the power company admitting liability and eventually agreeing to settle the case after a second mediation and before trial.
