$6.1 $8 Million Total Recovery for Victim in Bicycle vs. Car Accident
The Bodden & Bennett Law Group previously secured a $6.1 million settlement for a cyclist who suffered catastrophic injuries after being struck by a turning vehicle in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. But the fight did not stop there.
Rather than accept the initial result as the end of the case, the attorneys at Bodden & Bennett Law Group continued aggressively pursuing every additional source of compensation available on behalf of the client and his family.
The crash occurred while the cyclist was traveling eastbound on PGA Boulevard near Jog Road and lawfully crossing the intersection under a green light. A driver traveling in the opposite direction attempted to turn right and struck the cyclist broadside, throwing him violently onto the roadway.
The impact caused devastating injuries, including a cervical fracture that rendered the cyclist a paraplegic. Following the crash, the cyclist and his family retained Bodden & Bennett Law Group to seek justice and financial recovery for the enormous damages caused by this life-changing event.
The firm immediately launched a full investigation, preserved evidence, retained highly qualified experts, and identified all possible sources of recovery. Through determined legal advocacy, the firm previously secured $6.1 million through multiple insurance policies and additional contributions.
However, the legal team continued pressing forward.
As a result of those continued efforts, Bodden & Bennett Law Group successfully obtained an additional $1.9 million, bringing the total recovery to $8 million.
Final Result: $8 Million Recovered
This total included $2,150,000 above all available insurance policy limits, reflecting the firm’s relentless commitment to maximizing recovery for catastrophically injured clients.
While no amount of money can reverse such severe injuries, this recovery helps provide long-term financial support, medical care, and security for the client and family. Bodden & Bennett Law Group remains committed to fighting until every available path to justice has been pursued.
