Our Michigan car accident lawyers recently settled a Macomb County bicycle accident lawsuit on behalf of an injured bicyclist. Our client was riding his bike in Clinton Township when a negligent driver hit the bicyclist with his car. After initially striking our client, the negligent driver continued driving with the bike under his vehicle, unaware that he struck a bicyclist.

Due to the bike-car collision, our client sustained loss of consciousness, weakness in right arm, multiple bruises and abrasions, fracture cervical spine at the c-2 level and injury to bilateral shoulders which required surgical repair.  

The lawsuit was filed in the Macomb County Circuit Court and settled for insurance policy limits. Luckily at the scene of the accident were two independent eye-witnesses who were able to provide statements to the police and help prove that the driver was in fact negligent.

Catastrophic injuries are frequent outcome of bicycle-car accidents. Some of the most common injuries include spinal cord injuries, closed head injuries, broken bones and fractures, back injuries, neck injuries, and more.

Due to the crash, our client suffered serious injuries in the accident, including a right thumb and left side rib injury.  His pain still persists to this current day and therefore keeps our client from being able to retrun to his normal activities.
