Significant Six-figure Recovery

A young man from Pittsburgh was riding his bicycle through North Park when he was struck by a car traveling behind him. The driver of the car claimed that the bicycle was not on the designated bike path, but we were able to show that, under Pennsylvania law, the bicyclist has the right-of-way as long as he is traveling on the paved portion of the road and was in front of the car. The bicyclist suffered a very serious elbow fracture and in a personal injury claim against the motor vehicle, we made a significant six-figure recovery on his behalf.
