Our client, Jillian, was out celebrating with friends after learning she had been accepted as a cheerleader for the Colorado Rapids. To stay safe and avoid driving under the influence, they had booked a room at a downtown hotel. After their night out, they returned to their Westin hotel room, only to be greeted by a security guard who accused them of being too loud and kicked them out in the early hours of the morning.
The security guard made no effort to get them into a cab or to call the police to handle the situation. Instead, he let them leave the hotel on their own, fully aware they were intoxicated. With no other options, one of the girls decided to drive them back to one of the girls’ apartments. Unfortunately, just minutes after leaving the hotel, they collided with a car parked on the side of the road. The impact caused the vehicle to spin across the highway and crash into the center divider.
Injuries Jillian Sustained From The Car Accident
The car crash left everyone in the vehicle injured, with one of Jillian’s friends tragically losing their life. Jillian, who was sitting in the back seat, sustained a severe brain injury in the accident. The extent of her injuries required ongoing medical care, impacting her for the rest of her life.
The Liable Parties For The Car Accident
Multiple parties were found liable for the accident, including the bar that served alcohol to the group and the driver responsible for the crash. By the time Sean took over the case, both the bar and the driver had already been sued. However, the hotel had not been held accountable for its negligent eviction. Despite the clear responsibility, the hotel refused to settle or engage in any discussions, forcing the case to go to trial. This made it incredibly challenging for the firm to reach a resolution, but the team remained dedicated to ensuring justice for Jillian.
How Olson Personal Injury Lawyers Helped Jillian and Her Family Get Justice
In the end, attorney Sean Olson and the team at Olson Personal Injury Lawyers successfully negotiated a settlement with the hotel just as the jury was about to return with its verdict. Jillian’s family had already secured settlements from both the bar and the driver responsible for the car accident, but this additional settlement from the hotel ensured Jillian’s family could provide the care she needed at home, with her parents by her side, rather than placing her in an institution for the rest of her life.
Throughout the entire process, Jillian’s mother expressed how Sean gave her the confidence that every necessary step was being taken to achieve justice for her daughter. She noted how Sean’s ability to communicate with the jurors and present a compelling narrative helped them truly understand the importance of securing justice for Jillian.
