Motorcycle Crash Results in $4 MILLION DOLLAR Settlement

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Mark Jetton was recently awarded $4,000,000.00 in a pre-trial settlement for a client involved in a motorcycle accident. Mr. Jetton's 29-year-old client was riding his custom Harley Davidson motorcycle at approximately 50 mph when another driver failed to yield right-of-way, accelerated from the stop sign, and struck our client's motorcycle at a speed of approximately 15 mph.

As a result of the crash, our client was forcibly ejected from his motorcycle and thrown to the pavement where he sustained immediate and substantial injuries. Due to the urgent need for "sub-specialty intervention for a multi-system trauma," our client was airlifted to a better equipped medical facility where he underwent an extensive spinal hardware placement surgery and closed reduction of his deformed and dislocated right hip. The client remained in-patient for six days following the accident, and required constant, on-going therapies, medications and care upon discharge.

Given the catastrophic nature of our client's injuries and the long-term impact on his wage-earning capacity, our client's measurable damages far exceeded the quantifiable damages in the case. Attorney Jetton's settlement negotiations emphasized the young client's intangible loss more than just injuries, medical expenses and lost wages. His vivid depiction of the life of a 29-year-old newlywed who enjoyed snowboarding, rebuilding and riding Harley Davidsons, and mountain biking compared to someone who now has permanent hardware in his back and lives a life of physical limitations, resulted in a $4 MILLION DOLLAR settlement, allowing his client to lift the financial burdens from his new life.
