Bike Accident - $105,000.00

Our client, an avid cyclist, was riding his bike downhill at a fast rate of speed when a car negligently pulled out in front of him from a side street resulting in a collision. As a result of the collision, he was thrown off his bike and suffered several rib fractures, multiple abrasions, lacerations and permanent scarring. The accident happened shortly after dusk and the responding police officer found that our client was 50% responsible for the accident due to inadequate lighting and reflectors on his bicycle pursuant to M.G.L. c. 85 s.11B(8). We obtained several sworn statements from witnesses to the accident disputing the lighting conditions at the time of the accident and the case was settled shortly after a settlement demand package was sent to the insurance company.
