$120,000 Settlement for Bicycle Accident in Murrieta

Our client was on his bicycle riding along the left side of a roadway toward an intersection with a small side street controlled by a stop light. The defendant was coming in from client’s left side, from this side street, toward the same intersection. The defendant stopped at the red light but did not look forward or to the right, she only looked to her left for traffic to clear before driving forward into the intersection. When she entered the intersection, she drove directly into client who was passing in front of her from her right to her left. The claim was initially denied due to client riding his bike on the wrong side of the roadway. However, Curtis Legal Group was able to argue that the driver shared responsibility and the matter settled for $120,000.
