Motorcycle Crash
Male, 63
High Six-Figure Settlement
A large company vehicle ran a red light, causing a significant collision with our client’s motorcycle. Due to our clients prior health conditions with COPD, he was unable to have surgery needed to correct his left tibia/fibula fracture. He was intubated for an extended period and suffered damage to his vocal cords. He suffered significant permanent impairments. However, the at fault party argued that his injuries were not all related to the crash and that his prior conditions caused the need for treatment. This case was negotiated through Mediation for a successful high six-figure settlement. Our client was able to secure enough funds to purchase a vehicle and home that accommodated his needs given his profound limitations when walking with his forearm crutches and using his motorized wheelchair.
