Our 65-year-old client was lawfully riding his electric motor scooter on Ford Road in Dearborn when a rideshare delivery driver operating an SUV made a reckless decision. The driver exited a liquor store parking lot without looking for oncoming traffic, pulling directly into our client’s path and striking him. As a vulnerable road user, he stood no chance against the SUV.
The collision threw him from his scooter, resulting in serious injuries. He sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), extensive bodily bruising, and a significant aggravation of a pre-existing low back radiculopathy. This new trauma turned a manageable condition into a source of chronic, debilitating pain.
As experienced pedestrian accident lawyers, we immediately began building the case against the at-fault driver. We compiled evidence, documented the full extent of his injuries, and demonstrated how the driver’s clear negligence caused our client’s immense suffering and medical needs. Presented with our comprehensive and irrefutable claim, the insurance company agreed to resolve the case for the full policy limits. We successfully secured $1,000,000 for our client.
Furthermore, we pursued a separate lawsuit against his Michigan no-fault insurance carrier, forcing them to fulfill their obligations and pay for his medical bills, attendant care, and household services benefits. This two-pronged approach ensured our client received the maximum possible compensation from all available sources.
