Washington DOC Pays $4,000 in Parking Lot Slip and Fall
Hamack landed down on his left hand first (injuring his left pinky) then onto the left side of his chest/rib cage area. He suffered a compound dislocation as three bones stuck out. As Hamack bled, he pulled the bone or bones back into the socket area.
Hamack was later treated by a nurse from the prison hospital who only bound up his pinky finger and ring finger and advised him to go to a hospital. Hamack and his wife shortened their visit, arriving at Stevens Hospital Emergency Room where x-rays and proper treatment were given.
As a result of the injuries the State of Washington paid Hamack $4,000 to settle the tort claim. Hamack represented himself. See: Hamack v. the State of Washington, Claim No. 3109119.
