Responsibility Attached Without Physical Collision, $135,000 Settlement

Settlement/Verdict: $135,000.00

Attorney: Cory P. Whalen
Practice Area: Motorcycle Accident
Client Injury: Orthopedic Injuries to the Leg

Our client had just purchased a new motorcycle and was out for a summer ride. A few blocks from his house, an elderly gentleman pulled out from an alley and caused the client to lose control of his motorcycle. No collision occurred but due to the actions of the at-fault driver, the motorcyclist was caused to take evasive action and sustained orthopedic injuries to his leg. Surgery was performed to correct the injury. The insurance company for the at-fault driver denied liability and argued that the motorcyclist was inexperienced. Despite the insurance company's unwillingness to accept responsibility, Cory Whalen settled the case at mediation for $135,000.
