Motorcycle Accident Resulting in Head, Neck & Back Injuries

Description:

Confidential Settlement. 29-year-old male, not wearing a helmet, operated the Honda Shadow motorcycle in a westerly direction on a state road, traveling in the inside Lane (closest to the median) when the at fault vehicle (a truck) exited a private driveway violating his right-of-way. The biker swerved left attempting to avoid the collision, hit the inside concrete median, ejecting him from the motorcycle, causing him life-threatening injuries. Ultimately, the biker was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and multiple disc herniations in his neck and back. He lost his full-time employment, also resulting in high hospital bills, other medical bills, lost wages and future lost wages, also having significant past pain and future pain and suffering. The at fault driver had insurance coverage, having policy limits of $1 million, with no excess liability coverage available.

Our client did not have any motorcycle insurance, nor have any automobile insurance with any underinsured motorist coverage. Suit was filed against the at fault driver and his company. Discovery findings confirmed the at fault driver/company had the insurance coverage above, without any additional insurance findings, nor any assets worthy of recommending any further pursuit of claim.

Afterwards, the case resolved for the above policy limits of $1,000,000.00. We also went the extra mile to negotiate his outstanding medical bills, to providing the biker the very best Closing Statement, to provide him the very best financial recovery permitted under the circumstances.
