A child was severely and permanently injured while still in utero (at 8 1/2 months) when the vehicle his mother was driving collided with a farm tractor that turned in front of her as she was overtaking and passing it. The injuries to the fetus were catastrophic and left him totally disabled and dependant upon 24 hour a day care.

William Bongard received a court approved settlement in the amount of $1,830,000.
