$1 Million Motorcycle Accident
Experienced Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Secure $1 Million Settlement in Complex Crash Case
When Bob and Sue decided to take an evening motorcycle ride in the fall of 2024, they never imagined it would result in life-threatening injuries and a long road to recovery. What began as a pleasant ride on Bob’s Harley Davidson motorcycle in rural Wisconsin quickly turned into a nightmare when Bob lost control of the motorcycle, throwing both riders from the bike.
Devastating Injuries Required Immediate Medical Intervention
Sue suffered catastrophic injuries in the crash, including a fractured skull, fractured ribs, and a punctured lung. She was airlifted from the scene and flown to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she was admitted in critical condition—unconscious and unresponsive. Bob also sustained serious injuries, and both victims faced uncertain futures as they began their long recoveries in the hospital.
The Challenge: Investigation and Gathering Evidence
The case presented unique challenges that required the expertise of a skilled motorcycle accident lawyer. Bob had fragmented memories of the crash, including a vision of a black pickup truck with silver trim pulling a flatbed trailer that appeared to be blocking his lane, forcing him to swerve. However, this critical detail had not been substantiated by the initial police investigation. In addition, due to their injuries in the crash, neither Bob nor Sue could remember what happened to cause the accident.
A Team Effort Led by Experienced Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
When the case came to Bye, Goff, & Rohde through a referral, Attorney Steve Goff took on the case and worked with his dedicated team to investigate the crash thoroughly and pursue justice for the injured couple.
According to Attorney Goff, “this case was truly a team effort. That said, Nicole Wells pulled the laboring oar and executed our strategies perfectly to bring it home. She deserves a mountain of credit for the result.” Attorney Nicole Wells, along with team members Julie Wike Carlson and Danielle O’Connell, worked diligently to investigate every aspect of the crash.
Thorough Personal Injury Case Investigation and Strategic Advocacy
The motorcycle accident lawyers at Bye, Goff, & Rohde left no stone unturned. They investigated Bob’s vision of another vehicle being involved, explored all insurance coverage options, while coordinating with the couple’s health insurance companies. The team also considered how Sue’s injuries would impact her career and future earning capacity, negotiating an accounting for lost wages and earning potential in the settlement.
Through meticulous investigation, strategic legal planning, and unwavering advocacy, the team successfully secured a $1 million combined settlement for the couple helping to cover the extensive medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing care needs.
