A driver turning left struck a motorcyclist in Fremont in May 2024. The rider suffered multiple serious injuries, underwent surgery, and was left with permanent loss of use in one arm. Andy Gillin represented him in a claim that settled for $100,000.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts.
The Fremont collision
The rider was traveling on a motorcycle when a driver in an Acura failed to yield while making a left turn. The Fremont Police Department responded and prepared a collision report.
The firm’s case summary identifies the turning driver’s failure to yield as the event that led to the impact. The rider then faced a prolonged recovery from injuries affecting several parts of his body.
Injuries and continuing limitations
The injuries included a broken leg, severe shoulder and arm injuries, nerve damage, and fractured vertebrae. Treatment included surgery to place a rod in the leg and plates in the shoulder. The summary also records a coma lasting approximately one month.
Despite extensive care, the rider was left with permanent impairment in one arm and chronic pain. Those lasting limitations were an important part of his experience after the crash.
The settlement
Andy Gillin handled the personal injury claim for GJEL Accident Attorneys. The matter resolved for $100,000. That amount is the settlement reported for this individual case, not an estimate of what another motorcycle claim may be worth.
