PERSONAL INJURY
$425,000 RECOVERY
After receiving a settlement offer of less than $10,000 our client contacted another local attorney about their case. We worked as co-counsel with the referring attorney to assist our client to the recovery she needed and deserved. We faced defenses of “causation” and the argument that the “minor” impact did not cause the client’s injuries. After consulting with the client’s neurosurgeon and providing his written opinion that the crash did lead to the necessity for surgery settlement was finally reached with the vehicle owner’s insurance company, then with the driver’s insurance company, and finally with our client’s own underinsured motorist carrier. Incidentally, the final $25,000 was collected for our client when her own insurance company could not produce a signed UM/UIM rejection form. This happens in less than 5% of our cases, but when the insurer can’t produce this document, the law requires that they provide this coverage to their insureds. This recovery made a difference for our client.

PERSONAL INJURY
$300,000 RECOVERY
Our client suffered back injuries and was required to wear an upper body back brace for weeks during his recovery period. He was off work for many months from the crash. Prompt scene investigation verified that the at-fault driver not only ran the red blinking signal, but also failed to see the road marking with a stop bar and the stop sign on the highway. This recovery made a difference for our client.

PERSONAL INJURY
$275,000 RECOVERY
While traveling to Florida for vacation, our client was rear-ended at almost 60 miles an hour by the at-fault driver. Sadly, after the crash, our client received word that back surgery was required and he was immediately summoned back to the hospital after his initial release. Recovery was made from the at-fault driver and then from our client’s own under insured motorist coverage. This recovery made a difference for our client

PERSONAL INJURY
$260,000 RECOVERY
Our client sustained a serious leg/foot injury when the at-fault driver turned left in front of her. A video presentation of her vehicle, the scene, and our client’s life changing injury was prepared within 3 months of her injury. The policy limits from the at-fault party were quickly offered and our client’s underinsured motorist carrier paid their limits within days of our demand for a total recovery of $260,000 for our client. This recovery made a difference for our client.

Who Can I File A Claim Against After Being Injured?
Answer
While the most common claim is against the at fault driver, you may be entitled to file a claim for the negligent design or manufacturing of the bicycle. In addition, it may be possible for you to file a claim for the negligent maintenance of the vehicle that hit you. Finally, depending upon the circumstances of your case, you may be able to file a claim against the city or government agency responsible for the design and maintenance of the path or roadway you were cycling on.
-
Following My Accident, Who Will Pay For My Medical Bills?
Answer
Insurance coverage can be complicated. If the individual responsible for your injuries has personal injury protection coverage, your medical bills will be covered by it. If the driver does not have this coverage, your auto insurance or Health Insurance Company will provide the coverage. We will work with insurance companies to ensure the appropriate entity pays for your medical bills.
