$6 Million Settlement for Client Paralyzed by Stray Bullet

No one expects to be permanently injured while sleeping in a friend’s apartment, but that’s exactly what happened to our client, whose life changed in an instant when a stray bullet struck her spine and left her paralyzed.

Brooks Law Partners was honored to represent her in the aftermath of this unthinkable event. Her injury was not just tragic. It was preventable.

We pursued justice on her behalf and secured a $6 million, policy limits settlement to support her medical care, rehabilitation, and future needs.

This case is a sobering reminder that preventable harm can happen when safety is overlooked, especially in environments where risk is known and ignored.
