Attorney Brice C. Barnard obtained a $350,000.00 pre-suit settlement on behalf of a motorcyclist who was severely injured when another driver made an improper turn at a busy intersection.
The injured victim was driving eastbound on 75th Street with a green light at the intersection of 75th Street and Ward Parkway when an oncoming vehicle turned directly into his path, causing a violent collision.
The victim underwent emergency surgery at a local hospital to repair a fractured tibia and severe ankle injuries, including a degloved laceration, requiring several days of hospitalization.
Unfortunately, the victim did not have insurance on his motorcycle, so the at fault driver’s insurance argued the victim was not entitled to pain and suffering under Missouri law. To strengthen the case, the firm retained multiple medical experts to evaluate future treatment needs for the victim. The firm also gathered law enforcement investigation materials to enhance liability and demonstrate the seriousness of the crash. This diligence and persistence secured a pre-suit settlement for $350,000.00, helping the victim recover compensation for the long-term impact of his injuries.
