$1,760,000 Settlement – Motorcycle Crash (Broward County, FL)

Traffic crashes can be severe and deadly under any circumstance.  But when it involves a motorcycle, the consequences can be much, much worse.

Such was the case for our client, who was driving his motorcycle in the Fort Lauderdale area when a tourist driving a rental car hit him from behind.  He was thrown from the bike and sustained serious fractures to one of his legs.

John Elliott Leighton obtained a $1,760,000 settlement on behalf of this motorcyclist, who was struck by a car violating his right of way in Broward County, Florida. The client suffered fractures to his leg. G.M. v. Alamo.

The case was settled prior to trial and allowed our client a measure of financial security to help compensate for the injuries he suffered.
