TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

After being struck from behind by an inattentive driver while cycling in the bike lane, our client sustained a traumatic brain injury necessitating patient cognitive therapy and brain rehabilitation.

The attorneys at Bay Area Bicycle Law secured a brain injury specialist early in the case, leading to a settlement prior to litigation for the maximum available insurance policy.

$995,000

SPINAL SURGERIES FROM CAR COLLISION

Our attorneys were proud to represent a 60-year old man who was hit in a collision that required multiple spinal surgeries. Defense unsuccessfully argued that the conditions were pre-existing, they contested his lost wages claim, and originally only offered 10% payment on the medical treatment. Despite those efforts, the team at Bay Area Bicycle Law was able to negotiate a settlement – on the eve of trial – for $995,000.00.

$850,000

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

Our client suffered a concussion and was left lying unconscious in the street for several minutes while the driver of the vehicle that hit him refused to provide any assistance. Due to the TBI and the nature of the collision the client was unable to recall the exact nature of the incident but the bicycle attorneys at Bay Area Bicycle Law were able to obtain surveillance footage of the accident and successfully settle the case for just over $850,000 due to the driver’s clear negligence and his callous refusal to offer any help after the crash.

$250,000

SIDESWIPE BY IMPAIRED DRIVER

Our client came to us after being turned away by multiple law firms due to an adverse TCR that placed her fault. The attorneys at Bay Area Bicycle Law took the case and completed a thorough investigation that uncovered evidence that the driver was impaired and sideswiped our client. Our team was then able to negotiate for the full policy limits of $250,000, when previously the claim had been denied in full.

$215,000

SPEED BUMP COVER-UP

Our client suffered a traumatic AC separation after hitting a poorly maintained, run down speed bump. Our team was able to uncover that not only was the speed bump negligently maintained, but that the local neighborhood association attempted to destroy the evidence, rather than making it right with our client. After bringing these facts to light our team was able to secure a settlement of $215,000.00 for our client.

$105,000

PRIETO V. YELLOW CAB
