In 2019, our client was severely injured when a truck started a U-turn on a busy road in St. Louis City, Missouri. While our client was safely operating his Harley Davidson motorcycle, he was unable to stop before striking the truck which was situated in the middle of the roadway. Thankfully, a local convenience store captured the incident on surveillance video. Due to the severity of the impact and his resulting concussion, our client was unable to recall the crash itself nor was he able to remember much of the treatment he received in the weeks following the crash. In addition to his head injury, our client suffered numerous other internal injuries and fractured bones requiring him to stay in the Intensive Care Unit for some time. While there were some facts associated with the case that may have been viewed negatively by a jury at trial, we successfully developed the evidence in a way that forced the defense to want to settle the case. Ultimately, the insurance company for the truck driver and his employer paid $900,000 to resolve the case.
