- Permanently Disabled Bicyclist Proves Driver’s Liability By:-J. Hernandez
In the event that the victim in a motor vehicle accident case is a bicyclist the victim's injuries can be devastating. It is not rare for defendants to dispute liability or minimize the plaintiff's injuries. Among the ways in which they attempt to dispute liability is by claiming that the accident was caused by a medical emergency instead of the driver's negligence. In this article we consider a case where retaining a medical expert definitively invalidated the medical emergency defense. In the lawsuit studied in this post a medical expert was key in negating the defense's lawsuit that the defendant was not at fault since the accident was caused by a medical emergency.
- The way Lawyers Approach Claims Concerning A Pedestrian Severely Injured While In A Crosswalk By:-J. Hernandez
Crosswalks are meant to offer a safe area for pedestrians. They are meant to provide pedestrians with a definite right of way. They are meant to indicate to drivers a region of the road in which they need to exercise care. Normally, they are clearly marked. They are generally controlled by traffic signs or light signals. However they fall short of guaranteeing pedestrians a secure area to cross a street. It is not unusual for lawyers who help victims of motor vehicle accidents to be approached by pedestrians struck by a car as they were crossing the street in a marked crosswalk. When a vehicular accident deals with a pedestrian the injuries are regularly considerable and have disastrous and irreversible effects. Beneath we explore documented cases concerning pedestrian injuries.
Case 1: In this case a bus hit a pedestrian as she was crossing the street in a crosswalk. The pedestrian was a fifty year old female on her way to buy her grandchildren some gifts. She was pushing a shopping cart as she was going to the store. The bus struck her and then continued to run her over. The bus driver failed to even realize she had struck a shopping cart and had run over the woman until passengers in the bus began yelling for her to stop the bus. The force of the impact and the weight of the bus running her over resulted in her sustaining fractures to her rib, fractures to her pelvis, and a fracture to her spine. The woman will have to undergo hip replacement surgery due to her injuries. The law firm that helped the pedestrian was able to report achieving a $1.25 million settlement for her.
Case 2: This lawsuit concerned the driver of a rental car who was speeding while in a high traffic region of a large urban city. There were many pedestrians in the vicinity. He went through a red light and hit a van. This forced the van into a crosswalk which was being crossed by a pedestrian. The pedestrian, a 25 year old male, suffered a spinal cord fracture injury that left him with total paralysis from the chest down
The law firm that handled this claim filed a claim for the pedestrian victim against the driver and the car rental company. Unable to reach a settlement, the law firm took the case to trial. The jury verdict was partially upheld in the amount of $20,300,000 by the trial judge. This sum was intended to cover medical expenses (for the amount incurred up to the trial and for the amount for the care he will require in the future), the pedestrian’s loss of earning capacity, and past and future pain and suffering.
Case 3: In this instance the report indicated that as a school bus made a left hand turn the driver failed to yield the right of way to a pedestrian. The bus ran over and pinned the pedestrian’s foot. At the time of the accident the victim, a female, aged fifty four, was in a designated crosswalk walking over to the other side of the intersection. The driver did not even know what had taken place until bystanders got his attention and had him put the bus in reverse to free the pedestrian’s foot.
The pedestrian suffered various severe injuries to her foot and leg. The pedestrian ended up needing a number of surgeries to both her foot and her leg. Ultimately, however, she lost the leg to a below the knee amputation following which she experienced continual phantom pain. The law firm that handled the matter reported that the case went to trial and the jury gave the victim $5,900,000.
By comparing and contrasting these claim we see first that each case is unique. Extrapolating from the case it is apparent that a case can involve a car, a bus, a truck, or even a motorcycle. The victims, even when we consider incidents involving only pedestrians, can be male or female and can be any age.
The cases, however, do tend to share certain things in common. The injuries tend to be serious and leave the victims with lifelong difficulties. Crosswalks are no guarantee of safety for a pedestrian. Drivers can be distracted even in clearly marked crosswalks. And some drivers simply fail to follow the rules such as the speeding driver who went through a red light in the second lawsuit. Each of the lawsuit included significant injuries and with the assistance of an experienced attorney on their side each of these pedestrians achieved a significant recovery for their injuries.
