I`d care to say you almost a character we handled just recently, last year, about a motorcycle passenger who was mired in a really serious accident. Here is the motorcycle accident video on YouTube. She was a rider who boarded the cycle in Meriden, ironically at a commemoration service for another deceased motorcycle rider. Her driver was a supporter of hers, who then proceeded up I-91 north, beginning in Meriden, ending up going through Middletown, and eventually Rocky Hill.
As percentage of our exhaustive investigation as an accident lawyer, we observed there was a handlebar-mounted camera on the motorcycle. We immediately secured a transcript of the picture and discovered that it was activated just before the stroke and it showed in real time what happened.
The manipulator of the bike was racing another motorcycle at speeds in surplus of 160 miles per hour. This fatal accident was devastating. Our client, the passenger, sustained severe injuries to her upper body. She was fortunate, and it was providential that she wasn`t killed. She had some soft tissue injuries to her neck area, had some harm to her ribs. Primarily, though, she sustained massive tissue loss from her upper arm, and that needed a serial of nearly 10 plastic surgeries to put her arm back together so she could get some use of it. It was horribly disfigured. She came to us in put to move to the following step as to what to do, how she could put her life back together.
Armed with that video, we were able to access the insurance company of the motorcycle driver and the former insurance companies involved, and we were likewise capable to settle the fact that the tractor trailer was not responsible.Upon approaching the insurance companies, they agreed with us that this was a really significant case, and they quickly settled for the entire policy limits of several hundred thousand dollars.
The customer was really pleased that we were able to get a quick resolution of this case. And it was done our efforts in obtaining both the DVD and all of her medical records and making sure that she obtained the doctors that she want to go to that were able to get a successful result. She was pleased and we were really pleased on her behalf.
