Civil Plaintiff
Woman Awarded $2.75M by Washington State for Injuries Suffered in Car Crash
Washington state has agreed to pay $2.75 million to a woman who was seriously hurt in a rollover crash involving a state Department of Transportation vehicle on Highway 522.
On March 5, 2018, Kara Janneh of Monroe was driving her Jeep Cherokee east on the highway near Maltby with her toddler son in the back. Her lawsuit said she didn’t have time to stop when a Washington State Department of Transportation truck made an illegal U-turn. Her vehicle flew into the air and rolled over twice.
Her son escaped serious injury but the lawsuit said Janneh suffered serious harm including a traumatic brain injury.
