Seattle, WA (PRWEB) December 12, 2012 Wrongful death attorney Chris Davis, the founder and principal of the Davis Law Group in Seattle, recently settled a lawsuit against the State of Washington Department of Corrections (DOC), and convicted felon Virginia Christine Ramsey (Pierce County Superior Court, Case No. 11-2-13537-9). The lawsuit alleged that the DOC failed to adequately monitor and supervise a dangerous felon under the State’s community supervision. That felon ultimately caused a high speed car crash that killed one person and severely injured another. Court documents show that on July 26, 2010, Ramsey was spotted driving erratically by police. A high speed police chase ensued which ended with a violent collision involving another vehicle operated by Doug Simmons, who was killed instantly. Mr. Simmons’ passenger, Holly Mattson, received life-threatening injuries but survived the deadly collision. According to a toxicology report, Ramsey was found to have been under the influence of illegal drugs at the time of the crash. Ms. Ramsey was a convicted felon under the supervision of the Department of Corrections. She had an extensive criminal record – more than 40 total criminal convictions – and had been under the DOC’s supervision on at least three prior occasions since the year 2000. Read More. |
