Jane Doe v. John Doe driver: King County Superior Court No. 02-2-26432-8 Seattle woman involved in a motor vehicle accident suffered spinal injuries to her neck and low back, radiculopathy, and a worsening of her pre-existing fibromyalgia. A Microsoft employee with a stellar record, she was forced to miss about one year of work over 4 years. According to her rheumatologists, she could not return to her high-stress job as the extra hours and demands of being bent over a computer for most of the day made her injuries worse and caused her to lose sleep. The treating doctors told her to find a 30-40 hour a week job rather than her 50-60 hour position. Given that she was a large wage earner, the insurer agreed to pay its half million dollar policy limit to settle the case.

FAQ From WA SCI Lawyer
Q. What is a spinal cord injury (SCI)?
A. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that conduct information from the brain to the rest of the body, and from the body back to the brain. Some nerves are related to sensation and/or motor function, maintaining involuntary bodily functions such as breathing. This bundle of nerves is encased in the bony spinal column. If the spine is broken, the spinal cord suffers a traumatic injury which can result in loss of function and feeling.
