Case Details

Client was lawfully riding his bicycle when an at-fault driver, traveling at 35-40 mph, crashed into him. Client suffered serious injuries requiring multiple surgeries and incurred over $750,000 in medical bills. Injuries are permanent.

Additional Notes

The at-fault driver's insurance carrier initially tried to blame the client for wearing dark clothes and for shadows from trees. DWC successfully argued against these defenses, leveraging Oregon law regarding bicyclist rights and driver lookout duties. Settlement covered past medical expenses, future accident-related medical expenses (from health insurance provider agreement), and several hundred thousand dollars after fees and liens.
