MOTORCYCLIST REAR-ENDED BY DUMP TRUCK
SUSTAINS SEVERE LEG INJURY
The chances of a fatality in a motorcycle accident are approximately 30 times higher than in a car. Motorcycle accidents have a staggering 80% injury or death rate, while car accidents remain around 20%. Even though the difference in design and functionality between cars and motorcycles are significant, the leading causes of catastrophic accidents for both vehicles remain relatively the same. Unfortunately, most fatalities or major accidents are not a result of faulty machinery or improper safety features. The leading cause remains to be human carelessness and irresponsibility.
Summary of a Claim Our client, 23 years old, was on a motorcycle stopped in traffic signaling a left turn when he was struck from behind by a dump truck traveling at a high rate of speed. Our client sustained severe open fractures of his right tibia and fibula which required multiple surgeries, including placement of an external fixator, osteotomy, wound VAC, and a leg-lengthening procedure. Upon recovery he continued to experience diminished ankle range of motion, gait impairment, sensory loss in the right foot and associated neuropathic pain, and patellofemoral syndrome in the right knee. The case was settled for a significant sum prior to trial.
