$500,000 in Bicycle versus Bicycle Collision

While riding his bike along the bicycle path in Myrtle Edwards Park in Seattle Washington, our client collided with an oncoming bicyclist, suffering multiple facial fractures and requiring extensive surgical repair. His medical bills were substantial and because of the severity of his injuries he was unable to get the identity of the other bicyclist at the scene. He hired us to help. We were able to track down the other bicyclist, but he and his insurance company denied responsibility. We hired an expert to investigate the accident, filed a lawsuit, and conducted discovery, including taking the defendant’s deposition to prove that the defendant was at fault. We were able to negotiate a settlement of $500,000 on our client’s behalf. This was the maximum amount recoverable under the other cyclist’s insurance policy.

Family Awarded $2.75 Million For Fatal Road Conditions

We represented the family of a loved one who was struck and killed by a motorist while walking along the shoulder of the road. The car’s driver had been unable to differentiate the road from the shoulder of the road because the fog line separating the road from the shoulder had been temporarily submerged in rainwater. At trial, the jury determined that the city should have designed the highway so rainwater would not accumulate in such a manner. Ultimately, our client’s estate was awarded $2.75 million.

Six-Figure Settlement in Auto versus Bicycle Collision

While our client was riding her bicycle through an intersection in Ballard, a Toyota Camry approached, failed to yield the right of way and hit our client, causing her multiple pelvic fractures. The cyclist contacted us to help her negotiate with the driver’s insurance company to pay her medical bills and the other damages she sustained as a result of the collision. The driver’s insurance company’s initially claimed that our client was partially at fault for causing the accident. Within two months, we negotiated a six-figure settlement–the maximum amount recoverable under the driver’s insurance policy.

Pedestrian Accident Information

Each year in Washington, thousands of innocent victims are injured or killed as they attempt to do something as simple as cross the street. Pedestrian injuries and deaths due to driver negligence is the cause of hundreds of traffic related accidents each day in the United States. It has been estimated that some 110,000 pedestrians are injured every year in the United States and that almost 60,000 pedestrians are killed in pedestrian accidents. Statistics like these are staggering. The victims of such accidents include people of all ages, but a large number of fatalities included here are elderly people and children. Pedestrians are so vulnerable and exposed when crossing a street that an impact from even a slow-moving vehicle can easily cause injury or death. Injuries sustained in these accidents are all too often severe or life threatening, and the damage to life and life can be catastrophic in many cases.

When a pedestrian is involved in an accident, there are so many variables to consider.
