Personal Injury – $775,000 Settlement (Motorcycle Collision, Orthopedic Trauma)

“Logan” was riding his motorcycle along Danbury Road in New Milford when a driver pulled out of a parking lot directly into his lane. With no time and nowhere to go, Logan struck the car and was thrown violently onto the pavement.

The driver later admitted he never saw the motorcycle. He had been watching for a gap in traffic coming the other way and failed to look for vehicles approaching in Logan’s lane.

Logan was rushed to the hospital with multiple pelvic fractures and a traumatic hip injury requiring surgical reconstruction. As his recovery progressed, additional injuries were discovered, including an avulsion fracture in his knee. Over the years, Logan underwent multiple surgeries and now lives with permanent impairments in both legs. The pain and limitations affect not only his work in precision metal fabrication but also the active lifestyle he once enjoyed.

Our investigation and expert review established clear liability. The crash was not the result of rider error but of a driver’s failure to yield and maintain awareness of the roadway.

The case resolved for $775,000, compensating Logan for his medical expenses, permanent physical limitations, and the long-term impact on his work and quality of life.
