$1,200,000 Settlement For Client After Motorcycle Crash

While riding his Harley Davidson Rocker on a quiet country road in Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York, when a driver of a BMW pulled out from a stop sign attempting to cross in front of the motorcyclist. The police issued a ticket to the BMW driver for failing to yield the right of way. Unfortunately, the insurance company for the BMW refused to accept full responsibility for the crash so we were forced to start a lawsuit. During the lawsuit we asked the Judge to find the BMW 100% responsible for the crash. The Judge agreed with our position and granted Summary Judgment against the BMW driver for causing the crash. Rather than face the continued 9% interest due following the award of Summary Judgment, the insurance company agreed to pay $1,200,000 to our client who broke his leg during the crash. The case was handled by Partners Elizabeth Wolf and Andrew Finkelstein.
