Though he was eject- ed, Renotiere was lying in the ditch and he sustained third-degree burns to parts of the left side of his body, including his chest, arm, shoulder and foot. He also fractured his face and his shoulder blade. Renotiere underwent skin grafting procedures and he spent four weeks at Tampa General Hospital, followed by three months of rehabilitation. The burns to Renotiere’s shoulder and foot left him with significant problems. “We are very pleased with the amount of the award,” Spivey said. “Most importantly, it will help Mr. Renotiere get the treatment and rehabilita- tion that he needs but had been unable to afford.” He noted that Baranowski’s attorney, Kenneth Oliver, recom- mended to the jurors that they award Renotiere and his wife less than $100,000 total. Oliver did not return a message seeking com- ment. “They (the defendant and his attorney) tried to put all the blame on Mr. Renotiere for the acci- dent, but the seat belt law is not designed to shift for the cause of the accident to the victim,” Spivey said. “The jury found the defendant 100 percent at fault,” he added. Baranowski could not be reached for comment Wednesday. The jury was made up of four men and two women. CAPE CORAL BREEZE OPINIONS Page 4A –February 18, 2012
