Police Officer Injured In Motorcycle Accident Awarded $750,000 in Damages

Published on: | By

A Cobb County, Georgia policeman who was struck by another officer’s motorcycle has been awarded $750, 000 by a Fulton County Superior Court jury for head injuries that only emerged several months after the motorcycle accident. The winning patrolman was among several motorcycle officers from various agencies who were riding in “tight formation” in August 2005,when a MARTA officer hit him from behind. Apparently the plaintiff almost immediately returned to work following the accident; however, he began to have seizures approximately six months after the accident. A neurologist testified that the seizures had resulted from head injuries suffered in the accident which would require him to take anti-seizure medication. Following the four-day trial, the jury took about two hours before bringing back a verdict in favor of the patrolman.
