Dolan Law Firm, PC:Personal Injury Lawyers
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 18, 2024 /Dolan Law Firm client, cyclist, who was struck by an automobile while riding on Laguna Street in San Francisco California has been awarded $1,250,000 in a settlement for the injuries and damages sustained in the collision. The bicycle incident occurred as the plaintiff was riding his bicycle toward the intersection of Laguna and McAllister Streets with a green light, intending to proceed straight.
The defendants attempted to pass the plaintiff on the left but failed to maintain a safe distance, causing a collision that resulted in significant injuries requiring medical attention.
Dolan Law Firm legal team argued that the defendants violated California Vehicle Code Section 21750, which requires motorists overtaking another vehicle to pass to the left at a safe distance without interfering with the vehicle being overtaken. The evidence demonstrated that the defendants breached this duty of care, directly leading to the plaintiff 's injuries and damages.
"This case underscores the critical importance of drivers adhering to California Vehicle Code and exercising vigilance when sharing the road with cyclists," said Jeremy Jessup, the plaintiff 's lead counsel. "The defendants ' failure to follow these safety rules resulted in serious harm, and this settlement reflects accountability for their actions."
The awarded $1,250,000 compensates the plaintiff for special and general damages, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other associated costs.
Cyclists are particularly vulnerable to injuries on the road, and this case highlights the responsibility of motorists to prioritize safety and respect the rights of all road users.
