Case Details

A plaintiff was recently awarded $1.6 million in a bicycle accident injury case involving another cyclist. The plaintiff was riding his bike in the bicycle lane on 10th Street in midtown Atlanta. The other cyclist was riding in the opposite direction in the motor vehicle lane. The plaintiff contended that the defendant attempted to merge his bike into the bike lane and struck the plaintiff head-on. The ensuing collision caused the plaintiff to sustain serious injuries to his hands and wrists for which he required multiple surgeries. He incurred over $160,000 in medical expenses and suffered severe pain as a result of the accident.

Additional Notes

Initially, the insurance company representing the defendant agreed to settle the claim for $430,000. The plaintiff rejected that offer and countered with $1.2 million. The insurance company rejected that offer and proceeded to take the case to trial where the plaintiff secured a $1.6 million verdict.
