$100,000 POLICY LIMITS SETTLEMENT – Motorcyclist Rear-ended by Drunk Driver and Ejected into Roadway Sustains Multiple Serious Injuries
Motorcycle AccidentOur client was traveling eastbound on his motorcycle along US 223 in Monroe County, Michigan when this accident occurred. Our client had slowed down to turn when the vehicle behind him failed to notice him slowing down, causing the vehicle to rear-end our client. The force of the collision caused our client to be ejected off his motorcycle and onto the roadway. The driver of the at-fault vehicle fled the scene, but the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office soon made contact with him and observed that he was under the influence of alcohol.
Following the accident, our client promptly sought medical attention for his injuries. X-rays, and a CT scan revealed that he had sustained two fractures to his thoracic vertebrae. In the days following the accident our client also began developing hearing loss and ringing in his left ear. Our client required numerous follow up appointments, physical therapy, and had to undergo multiple rounds of steroid injections to help manage his pain.
When our client needed assistance with his legal recovery, he contacted our office. Attorney Andrea Young and her pre-litigation team worked with and for our client to ensure that he obtained the result he deserved. Andrea and her team were successful in receiving a policy limits offer of $100,000 for our client without the need for the lengthy litigation.
