Partially At Fault Motorcyclist obtains a $51,000 Settlement

Fresno resident, on his way home on his motorcycle, was suddenly faced with a driver in front of him who recklessly made a wide U-turn without warning. The Fresno native could not avoid rear-ending the pick-up truck. He was thrown off the bike and suffered a wrist fracture. Of course, the other driver’s insurance company blamed the motorcyclist, claiming he was speeding. The driver told his insurance company that he would never accept responsibility. The Fresno resident contacted the Dunnion Law Firm in complete frustration—he was being denied settlement for his wrecked bike and his injury claim was also being denied. The Dunnion Law Firm got to work: it investigated the accident, collected evidence, made a reconstruction. But the Dunnion Law Firm went further and contacted the other driver and his wife, making them aware of their risk of being sued while their insurance company was being hammered incessantly with legal and factual arguments. Finally, the insurance company and their insured driver gave up their untruthful position as to liability and paid the full value of the injury. Without The Dunnion Law Firm fighting his case from day one, this hardworking Fresno native might have given up out of sheer frustration from being told he was the one at fault. He was not only vindicated in the end, but he received significant cash in his pocket, which made his victory all the more sweeter. The Dunnion Law Firm will never accept a false determination of fault and will fight for their clients both in court and out.
