Motorcyclist Struck Near Interstate 485 Faces Concussion and Serious Orthopedic Trauma
At The Riddle & Riddle Law Firm, we know all too well that a motorcycle collision involving a commercial truck is rarely simple and can result in life-changing injuries. Motorcyclists face unique vulnerabilities on the road, and when a crash involves a heavy truck, the physical, financial, and emotional impact on the rider can be severe. In the case of our client, a crash on a rural road near Charlotte, close to Interstate 485, changed everything in an instant.
Extensive Medical Bills and Nearly a Year Away from Work
The force of the impact left our client with a concussion and severe orthopedic injuries requiring two hip surgeries. The physical recovery was long and demanding, resulting in approximately $200,000 in medical expenses. In addition to the extensive care required, the client was forced out of work for nearly a year before ultimately returning to their career.
An injury doesn't just damage the body; it disrupts your entire life. Our job is to help you put the pieces back together.
The Work That Adam Smith & Gene Riddle Did That Led to a $2M Pre-Suit Settlement
To ensure our client received full and fair consideration for their losses, our attorneys Gene Riddle and Adam Smith took a proactive, evidence-based approach. In serious truck-related injury cases, building a clear and thorough record is critical. We retained a medical expert to document the orthopedic trauma and recovery needs, a liability investigator to analyze the crash scene, and an economic expert to evaluate lost wages and long-term impact. By compiling a clear, professional presentation of the facts, we successfully resolved the claim for $2,000,000 just before a lawsuit was filed.
