Motorcycle vs. Truck Collision

$33 Million Settlement – Motorcycle vs. Truck Collision Results in Catastrophic Injuries

Our client, a 58-year-old man, was catastrophically injured in a collision while riding his motorcycle to work in Benicia, California. As he lawfully proceeded through an intersection, a commercial pickup truck operated by an employee of a construction company made a sudden left turn against a yellow light, directly into our client’s path. The impact was devastating.

As a result of the collision, our client suffered life-altering injuries, including a below-the-knee amputation of his left leg and complete, permanent blindness in both eyes. He also sustained multiple fractures, internal injuries, and significant trauma that left him with chronic pain, impaired mobility, and a dramatically reduced quality of life.

The defendants admitted liability early in the case. Despite this, they initially offered only $500,000 to settle the matter. Our firm aggressively pursued justice, conducting extensive discovery, retaining top medical and accident reconstruction experts, and preparing the case for trial. After multiple rounds of mediation and settlement negotiations, we secured a $33 million settlement on behalf of our client.

This result reflects not only the severity of our client’s injuries but also our firm’s commitment to holding negligent parties accountable and ensuring that our clients receive the compensation they deserve to rebuild their lives.
