The family of a Lake County woman who suffered a head injury when her wheelchair tipped over in a county-funded transit bus has accepted $95,000 to settle the lawsuit, according to county documents. Katheryn Trent of Howey-in-the-Hills was injured Jan. 17, 2003, when the public transit vehicle in which she was riding turned a corner, the wheelchair in which she was seated toppled over and she struck her head.
The wrongful-death lawsuit claims the "severe head/brain injury" Trent suffered led to her death at age 78 about seven weeks later, though a death certificate filed with her probate case shows she died of a perforated colon. The payment to Trent's estate was detailed in a liability release, approved this week by county commissioners, clearing LifeStream Behavioral Center of financial responsibility for Lake's legal expenses.
