$1.25 Million for 20 Year-Old Motorcyclist
On October 27, 2008, a 20 year-old young man suffered a severe traumatic brain injury when he was cut off by an automobile as he drove his motorcycle in Destin, Florida. The vehicle violated his right of way, causing him to slam into the driver’s side door. He was airlifted to the local trauma center in Pensacola, where he was treated for the brain injury as well as severe fractures to his spine and arm. Upon admission, the hospital considered his prognosis very poor and his chances for survival were low. Just five months after the accident, the young man is now back home and steadily improving. Thanks to the $1.25 million dollar settlement that we were able to secure, he is receiving the physical, cognitive and rehabilitative treatments that he now requires.
