Just this past week, clients retained our firm\u2019s services with respect to a serious motorcycle injury. As is often the case, because motorcycle riders are unprotected except for the helmet they wear, whenever an accident occurs involving a motorcycle, typically, serious injuries are involved.<\/p>\n

The worst case we handled was about 3 years ago when one of our partners represented a motorcycle rider who was hit by a drunk driver and almost killed. This drunk driver not only ran over the motorcycle driver, the motorcycle driver got caught underneath the drunk driver\u2019s truck and was dragged down the road for about 1000 yards before he became disentangled. Virtually every bone in the client\u2019s body was broken and it was truly miraculous that he survived his serious injuries. While we obtained a verdict in excess of $13 million for this client after a trial on the merits, unfortunately, the insurance recovered was insufficient to compensate our seriously injured client.<\/p>\n
