Early one evening Joe King was riding his motorcycle along with two friends. A car coming from the other direction stopped and turned suddenly, hitting Mr. King. He suffered multiple contusions and injury to his shoulder but miraculously did not sustain any permanent injuries or fractures. He was laid up for several months and was not able to return to competing in Judo, where he won several regional events shortly before the accident. Mr. King contacted the Haymond Law Firm.
The other insurance company initially denied fault for the claim and refused to pay. They claimed King’s headlight was not lit. During the pre-trial depositions, Attorney Sam Radner got the driver to admit that he should have seen our client approaching in his own headlights. We also obtained depositions from Mr. King’s two friends that his headlamp was, indeed working at the time of the accident. Thereafter, the insurance company changed their position. They acknowledged their client’s fault and agreed to a settlement of $34,000.
