ROBERT JONES SETTLES SUIT S.S.

A NEGLIGENCE SUIT HAS BEEN SETTLED FOR NEARLY 2-AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS. FORMER U.C.S.C. POLICE CAPTAIN, ROBERT JONES, WHO SUFFERED LIFE CHANGING INJURIES AFTER HE WAS STRUCK BY AN S.U.V., (WHILE BICYCLING ON HIGHWAY 1 NEAR DAVENPORT), FILED A CLAIM AGAINST SANTA CLARA VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER. THAT CLAIM ALLEGED THAT A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST FAILED TO PROPERLY CONNECT JONES TO A VENTILATOR, WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE TRAUMA CENTER. THAT LOSS OF OXYGEN IS BELIEVED TO HAVE CAUSED JONES TO GO INTO CARDIAC ARREST. JONES IS STILL IN A WHEELCHAIR, AND REQUIRES 24-HOUR CARE AT HOME.
