Harris Law Group Obtains 1.55$ Million Settlement

Our client was driving on his motorcycle south on US. 301, when a sports car pulled out in front of him and sent him flying several yards over the front left area of the vehicle. His helmet flew off before his head made contact with the road’s asphalt. He suffered severe and life threatening injuries including but not limited to, a coma, open book pelvic fracture, and a fractured wrist.

LEGAL ISSUES

Here, several eye-witnesses and our own reconstructive experts, estimated that our client was driving approximately 70-75 miles per hour when he made contact with the sports car that pulled into his lane. The speed limit on that section of 301, was 40 miles per hour.

Therefore, a jury could find that our client was significantly at fault for causing this accident even though the other driver was in violation of a Florida Safety Statute and was the but/for cause of the harm suffered by our client.

In the end we got the $1.55 million and our client would not have to spend another 2-3 years time to wait for his case to get in front of a jury. Further, we would not have to risk a jury holding our client responsible for the accident and giving him $0 because there was a significant chance that a jury would apportion a huge percentage of the fault of the accident to him and reduce his damages by that percentage of fault.
