The collision caused the plaintiff traumatic brain injury, two broken arms, and a broken leg, some of which is permanent.
Yarborough settled the case for $1.35 million dollars, which exhausted all available policy limits. The settlement will provide long term care and proper medical treatment for the plaintiff.
