Case Details
A woman injured in a bicycle accident in Philadelphia, struck by a car door and then run over by a van, was awarded over $2.4 million by a jury for multiple leg, pelvis, and hip fractures, some causing permanent damage. The award included $880,000 for future medical expenses, $1.334 million for pain and suffering, and $200,000 for permanent disfigurement.
Additional Notes
