The following is a case summary as reported in The New York Jury Verdict Reporter, the leading reporter of verdicts and settlements of cases in New York State.
$100,000.00 settlement for injured cyclist
This case involved a client who rode a bicycle daily for exercise. One day while traveling to enjoy a nearby park, he was struck by a car, resulting in a leg fracture. The insurance company for the motorist repeatedly tried to assign blame upon our client, claiming that he pulled out in front of the defendant's car. Stuart Besen was successful in forcing the insurance company to pay the full policy limits of the defendant, which amounted to $100,000.00. This settlement was obtained despite the liability problems of the case and the comparative fault of the plaintiff.
