Case Background:
Our client was legally riding their bike along a sidewalk near the Wheeling police station when a police car pulled out of an alley and hit him. The police officer did not see our client. Thankfully the bicycle accident was not severe and the injuries were light.
Challenge:
It is always a challenge for a personal injury attorney to sue a state representative. If the parties involved fail to reach a settlement agreement quickly, the case would usually progress to a circuit court. In this case, because the injuries were not severe, we reached a settlement agreement within a few months.
Result:
$15,000 Settlement
