Attorney(s): Trial Team of Attorneys Mike Shanley and Patricia Rothstein
Settlement: $800,000 Settlement
A driver with a blood alcohol content more than double the legal limit made a left turn directly into the path of our client’s motorcycle, failing to yield the right of way and causing a violent collision. The intoxicated driver had been over-served alcohol at a local establishment immediately before getting behind the wheel.
Our client suffered multiple fractures requiring emergency surgery, followed by additional surgeries including a total knee replacement. These devastating injuries significantly impacted our client’s active lifestyle and ability to enjoy daily activities.
Our attorneys pursued claims against both the drunk driver and the bar that overserved her, taking the case through extensive discovery and depositions. Through skilled negotiation at mediation, attorneys Mike Shanley and Patricia Rothstein secured an $800,000 settlement for our client.
