Attorneys Kevin Ruby and Jonathan Portner recently settled a bicycle accident
case for a policy of $250,000. This case arose because our client was
struck by a car as he was riding his bicycle on the shoulder of Gunston
Road in Fairfax, Virginia. The car struck the bicycle’s back tire,
and as a result, our client was ejected onto the hood and windshield of
the car that hit him. The accident occurred because the driver of the
car approached our client on the bicycle trying to pass him, and they
did not move over enough to safely make the pass. The collision occurred
and our client sustained several serious injuries, including torn rotator
cuffs to his left and right shoulders. Treatment included two surgeries
to repair each tear.
