The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., Secures $1.375 Million Recovery for Parents of Wrongful Death Victim in Motorcycle Accident

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., is proud to announce a major legal victory for our client, the parents of a motorcyclist who was killed in a tragic collision. The firm successfully secured a recovery of $1,375,000—more than double the initial cap of $600,000—in a wrongful death case. The case involved a driver who failed to yield when making a left turn, causing the motorcyclist's death.

The motorcycle accident occurred when the at-fault driver made an illegal left turn, turning directly in front of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist was killed instantly when the bike collided with the car.

At the time of the collision, Colorado law limited non-economic damages in wrongful death cases to roughly $600,000. This meant that parents typically could not claim economic damages for the loss of a child, especially when the decedent had no children of their own.

However, The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., took proactive steps to secure justice for the grieving parents who had lost their son in this devastating crash. Through careful legal work, the firm identified two crucial avenues for increasing the recovery amount.

First, our attorneys hired an accident reconstructionist to analyze the circumstances of the crash. The expert's review showed that the at-fault driver's actions were not just negligent but willful and wanton. This determination allowed the firm to bypass the standard recovery limitations, opening the door to higher damages.

Second, our attorneys consulted with an economist to evaluate the financial impact of the motorcyclist's death on his parents. The economist's analysis revealed the significant economic damages the parents would incur due to the loss of their son. Armed with this information, our attorneys successfully argued for a significant increase in the family's recovery, ultimately securing $1,375,000.

"We are honored to have been able to help this family recover after such a devastating loss," said Timothy Bussey, lead attorney at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C. "This case highlights the importance of thorough legal work and expert testimony in achieving justice for our clients. It also emphasizes that when the at-fault party's actions are egregious, the law provides a path to more than just the standard recovery limits."

The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., continues to fight for the rights of families who have suffered due to wrongful death and personal injury, ensuring that victims and their loved ones receive the compensation they deserve.
