$12,000 Settlement in D.C. Jail Prisoner’s Auto Accident Suit
The District of Columbia (D.C.) paid $12,000 to settle the lawsuit of prisoner Nelson Warren for injuries sustained in a car wreck during transportation.
While at the D.C. Jail on June 23, 2005, Warren was picked up by Transportation Officer “James R” to be taken to the F.B.I. Field Office. While en route, the driver hit a police car head on, causing damage to the vehicle and neck injuries to Warren.
