North Carolina Law Firm Secures $2.9 Million Settlement for Victim of Motorcycle Accident

Attorneys Darren Dawson and Gene Riddle of the North Carolina personal injury law firm Riddle & Brantley are pleased to announce a $2.9 million settlement in favor of our client who was seriously injured while riding his motorcycle. In our nearly 40 years representing motorcycle accident victims, this victory was particularly hard fought. We are thrilled for our client to see justice done after his painful ordeal.

The key to this case was preparation. After being hit by a passenger vehicle, our client sustained serious spinal, leg, and internal injuries requiring lengthy treatment, partial amputation of his foot, and spinal fusion. Pain and suffering notwithstanding, he also incurred approximately $400,000 in medical expenses. To demonstrate the enormous impact of his injuries, we prepared a day-in-the-life video detailing the difficulties of his daily life. We also prepared a life care plan outlining his future medical care and costs. The settlement was achieved in mediation.

Riddle & Brantley are undeterred by insurance companies who attempt to escape liability by blaming the motorcycle-riding victims. There is no legal standard that presumes rider negligence in a collision with a motor vehicle. In fact, our experience tells us that motorcycle accidents are more often caused by the failure of negligent drivers to share the road and pay attention to their surroundings.
