A cyclist was struck by a rideshare driver performing an illegal U-turn on a busy street. The collision caused the cyclist to suffer broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a fractured arm that required multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy. The accident left the cyclist unable to work for an extended period, causing financial hardship in addition to the physical pain.
The legal team built a strong case by gathering eyewitness testimonies and surveillance footage showing the driver’s illegal maneuver. Faced with overwhelming evidence, the rideshare company’s insurer agreed to settle for $900,000. This amount helped the cyclist cover medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, and other damages.
