A $550,000 award was secured for a cyclist who suffered orthopedic injuries in a collision with a passing motorist. The case presented a significant challenge: the police cited the cyclist for being at fault for causing the accident, which created a presumption that could have defeated the client's claim.
Attorney Ryan Fisher of Lowe Trial Lawyers investigated the circumstances of the collision independently and developed evidence that demonstrated the motorist's comparative negligence — showing that the driver bore meaningful responsibility for the accident despite what the police report reflected.
Through skilled advocacy and thorough preparation, Attorney Fisher overcame the unfavorable police report and secured a $550,000 award for the cyclist, providing compensation for his orthopedic injuries, medical expenses, and the impact on his ability to work and live following the collision.
