Injury Award | Bicycle in Crosswalk
/Bicyclist Hit in Crosswalk
Our client was riding his bicycle home from work when he rode across the street in a crosswalk and was hit by a driver who failed to properly stop at the stop sign. The driver rolled through the stop sign planning to stop ahead of the cross walk. Our client was struck on the side, knocked over and suffered a back strain with a questionable annular tear in the back. Our client had previously been a very hard worker in life and had significant degeneration in his back due to his prior lifetime of heavy lifting. The actual injury caused by this collision was contested by the insurance company. When the insurance continued to contest fault and injuries, we filed suit. The case was settled shortly before the scheduled trial date for a satisfactory confidential amount.
