A wheelchair company and its technicians are to blame for the death of a disability advocate who died after his wheelchair malfunctioned during routine repairs, pinning his legs under a tabletop and causing him to suffer seizures, according to a lawsuit brought by the man's family. The suit, filed in Suffolk Superior Court by the parents of quadriplegic Jeffrey Thompson, seeks $10 million in damages against National Seating & Mobility Inc. His Boston family went to court after the company refused to consider a $1 million settlement offer, lawyer Jonathon Friedmann said.
The suit alleges that the repair technicians were improperly trained and should have removed Thompson from the wheelchair and disconnected its battery before starting repairs. A spokesman for the Tennessee-based company said it would not comment on pending litigation. "He was just such a fine young man who had recovered from a major injury, being a quadriplegic, and had developed into someone who was very special," Charles Thompson said of his son. "He laughed and smiled every day."
Jeffrey Thompson was 29 when he died, 12 years after being paralyzed in a car crash in which a high school friend was driving, his father said. He went on to attend college and advocated for changes that made public transportation in Massachusetts more accessible for the disabled.
