Auto vs Motorcycle Accident- Disputed Liability Head-on Injury– Traumatic Brain Injury and Spine Injuries. Our client, a motorcyclist, was hit head-on by another vehicle and suffered several injuries including a traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as displacement of a lumbar (low back) intervertebral disc which ultimately led to a lumbar spine fusion surgery. We worked with several leading medical, vocational, and brain injury experts on this case in order to obtain a satisfactory settlement just prior to trial. Defense counsel argued that our client was at least partially at fault for causing the subject collision because he was traveling at a speed in excess of the speed limit and had he been riding his motorcycle more safely the collision could have been avoided.

Cow vs Motorcycle Accident – This was a difficult liability case involving highly contested issues of whether or not a pasture was properly fenced. Our client, a 55-year-old male field maintenance manager for a water company, was injured in a motorcycle accident involving a cow. This resulted in compartment syndrome of his right leg, a comminuted right tibial plateau fracture, and right popliteal artery disruption. He was hospitalized for 3 months and underwent numerous surgeries. After 7 months, he returned to a part-time clerical job with the previous employer. Even in the alternate position, he could only work 2-3 hours a day, earning 35% of his former salary, representing a substantial loss of future earnings.

Dislocated Shoulder Injury – Motorcycle Accident – Our client was riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle when another vehicle pulled out from a Starbucks parking lot directly into his path. It is our belief that the other driver was texting on her phone when the collision occurred. As a result of the other driver’s distracted driving and carelessness, the two vehicles collided causing a serious motorcycle vs auto accident. Our client was thrown from his motorcycle and onto the road. Thankfully, our client survived the motorcycle crash suffering personal injuries including mild road rash and a dislocated shoulder. Physicians at the hospital were able to repair the shoulder injury without major surgery by using a technique called “shoulder dislocation reduction.”

Auto vs Motorcycle Accident – We obtained a pre-trial settlement in this matter arising from a car vs. motorcycle collision in which our client sustained neck and back injuries when ejected from a motorcycle, incurring approximately $55,000.00 in initial hospitalization care. Subsequent to the initial treatment our client had little additional care other than ongoing medication usage in the two years that followed. Our client received no injections, did not have disc injuries directly related to the incident and, in fact, had pre-accident medical conditions that mirrored the symptoms he had after the incident. Settled three days prior to trial despite the defendant’s contentions that our client suffered only soft tissue injuries in the accident.
