Road safety in Queens and Brooklyn is once again a top topic after the verdict in a tragic motorcycle accident case was announced. Thanks to the persistence of Sanocki Newman & Turret, LLP, the injured motorcyclist received USD 11,200,000 in compensation.
A Moment of Inattention That Changed a Life
The incident occurred when another vehicle made an illegal U-turn directly in front of a properly riding motorcyclist. The force of the impact was so great that the injured party suffered a spinal cord injury, resulting in immediate paraplegia (paralysis of the lower limbs).
The Fight for Rehabilitation Funds
The secured amount of USD 11.2 million is one of the highest results in road accident cases in NYC. These funds will be allocated to:
- Intensive neurological rehabilitation.
- Specialized rehabilitation equipment and a wheelchair.
- Coverage for lifelong lost earnings.
Expert Assistance After Traffic Accidents
The law firm reminds that motorcyclists are a particularly vulnerable group on the road. Professional documentation of the accident scene and prompt securing of witness testimonies were key to proving the perpetrator’s full fault in this process.
