WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash., Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Advocates Injury Attorneys secured a $4 million settlement on behalf of Larry Baker, who suffered serious and permanent lower-extremity injuries in an August 2023 incident at Birch Bay Waterslides in Blaine, Washington.
The lawsuit was filed in Whatcom County Superior Court against Birch Bay Jun Yu Waterslides, LLC, Dale Cooper, LLC d/b/a Safe Slide Restoration, and Kingworks Consulting Engineers, PLLC. Baker alleged that a dangerous condition on the Hairpin waterslide caused his injuries and asserted claims relating to the ownership, maintenance, inspection, and engineering of the slide.
On July 24, the court denied motions for summary judgment filed by Safe Slide Restoration and Kingworks Consulting Engineers. The case settled for $4 million shortly thereafter, as the parties were preparing for trial.
"We were fully prepared and looking forward to holding the responsible parties accountable at trial," said The Advocates owner, Ken Bills. "We are pleased to have secured a settlement that provides meaningful compensation to Larry for the injuries he suffered."
Baker was represented by attorneys Michael Driggs and Stefanie Collins, along with the litigation team at The Advocates.
"Larry and his family are very happy to have the case resolved," Driggs said. "This settlement will help provide for Larry's future needs and allow the family to move forward."
