Cyclist Injured in Delivery Driver’s Turn, Extensive Recovery and Litigation Ensue
Cyclist Crash Case. The client was riding his bicycle on Gulf Boulevard in a designated bike lane. A delivery driver without warning turned into his lane striking the cyclist and knocking him to the ground. He suffered neck and back injuries but the main injury was a fractured clavicle and scapula that required hospitalization and surgery. Ultimately he required a second surgery to remove surgical hardware. Law enforcement did not cite the driver and the defendant denied liability, however after extensive litigation and retaining an expert engineer to perform an accident reconstruction we were able to resolve the case for a significant recovery.

Settlement for Injured Cyclist
Our client was riding her bicycle in a group with five other cyclists when the defendant passed the group and turned directly through our client’s path of travel. The impact threw our client to the ground, and she landed on the right side of her body. Her face and helmet struck the side of the defendant’s vehicle, leaving permanent facial scarring. She also sustained injuries to her left hip, arm, and hand. Following the collision, our client was diagnosed with significant injuries to her left shoulder in addition to post traumatic stress disorder, eventually undergoing shoulder surgery. The pain from which she suffered, even after surgery, made her physically demanding job as a registered nurse extremely difficult. This persistent pain combined with constant flashbacks have interfered significantly with her passion – competitive cycling. She has also consulted with a plastic surgeon in an effort to improve permanent facial scarring from the collision. Following extensive negotiations, Roman Austin Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers recovered the Bodily Injury policy limit of $100,000 in addition to $70,000 in Underinsured Motorist Coverage. Fortunately, our client’s out of pocket costs were low, so the majority of this recovery went directly to her.
