Now, her attorney is suing the state and Thurston County for how they handled the incident."Every time we look further into this, it is more outrageous than the last time," said Anne Vankirk, the attorney for the woman, Nicole McClure. "It hits you. This is a person whose life is never going to be the same. And she’s never going to be the same," she added.Vankirk says following this incident, McClure has brain damage and now she cannot take care of herself.
Doctors determined McClure had a brain bleed. She went into surgery, and was in the hospital for 17 days, Vankirk said."This was really a systemic failure for Nicole," said Vankirk.She says Nicole has permanent brain damage; she can’t take care of herself without help from friends, and no law enforcement agencies apologized for the incident.FOX 13 News reached out to WSP and Thurston County, who said they are aware of the incident but cannot comment on the case.
