Child Receives $900,000.00 Award

An accident in Outagamie County, on October 15, 1993, has resulted in a settlement of over $900,000.00 for Wendy Pace and her daughter Hannah. Most of the money will go to Hannah, who was 20 months old at the time of the accident.

A truck driven by Dale R. Jensen and insured by Heritage Insurance Company caused the accident. The truck ran a stop sign doing better than 50 miles per hour and collided with the Pace’s car. Jensen was on a job for his employer, Allen Steele Company, Inc., at the time of the accident. Although Mrs. Pace swerved to avoid the accident, she could not get out of the way of the truck in time. A toolbox flew off of the truck, smashed through the windshield of the Pace’s car and struck Hannah in the head. Fortunately, a deputy sheriff was on the scene and called for medical assistance immediately. Hannah was treated at Appleton Medical Center and then transferred to Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee. Hannah has progressed well and is continuing in speech therapy to overcome the effects of the injuries caused by the accident.

Attorney Michael F. Hupy spent months carefully documenting and preparing this case for the Pace’s. On December 18, 1995, Attorney Hupy and the Pace family appeared in the court of Judge Dennis C. Luebke in Appleton. The judge approved the settlement, which will provide payments to Hannah for more than 25 years. Among other things, these payments will cover Hannah’s medical bills, both past and future, and the cost of her college education.
