Case Type: Bicycle Accident – Pedestrian Struck on Sidewalk
Settlement Amount: $2,000,000
Injuries: Orthopedic trauma, closed-head injury, chronic pain, permanent mobility restrictions
Jurisdiction: Michigan
Our client, a 53-year-old bicyclist, was lawfully riding on a sidewalk in Michigan when he was violently struck by an SUV exiting a dealership lot during a test drive by a prospective customer. The vehicle was owned by the dealership and operated with full consent and knowledge of the sales team.
The force of the impact threw our client onto the pavement, causing multiple fractures, a traumatic brain injury, and permanent physical limitations. Despite the defense claiming the bicyclist “should have seen the SUV,” our firm proved clear liability by establishing the dealership’s failure to control its test-drive procedures and protect public safety.
Through aggressive litigation, expert testimony, and compelling evidence, The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm secured a $2,000,000 settlement covering:
- Past, present, and future pain and suffering
- Extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Loss of future earnings
- Long-term disability and reduced quality of life
This result reflects our dedication to protecting the rights of vulnerable road users and holding negligent dealerships accountable.
