Our client, a lifelong motorcyclist, was riding straight through an intersection. Suddenly, a semi tow truck illegally takes a wide left turn and hits the rider. This collision leaves our client with multiple injuries, including brain bleeds and injuries, a broken sternum, a broken knee, a broken nose, and more.
The responding police officers placed the fault of the accident on the truck driver. At first, the defendant’s insurance company tried to shift the blame to our client. However, we spoke with witnesses who said our client was not speeding on his motorcycle.
Because of this, the adjuster’s tone shifted. They then offered our client a settlement of $350,000. Attorney Johnson presented a Life Care Plan, which detailed how this accident would affect the remainder of our client’s life and what those treatments would cost.
After this, Attorney Johnson was able to secure a $700,000 settlement, which is double the initial offer.
“Many people think the motorcyclist is always speeding or at fault. That’s not the case.”
