A man was riding his bike in a shared bike lane in Fairfax County when a driver coming from the opposite direction tried to make a left turn through an intersection and hit him.
Several people witnessed the crash, but their accounts differed, especially about what color the traffic light was at the time. To sort this out, Curcio Law’s legal team requested and reviewed all available traffic and video footage. After reviewing this evidence, the insurance companies agreed that the driver was responsible for the crash.
The cyclist suffered serious injuries that required spinal surgery. His case ultimately settled for $350,000, which was the full amount of insurance available. That total came from both the driver’s insurance and the cyclist’s own underinsured motorist coverage under his personal auto policy.
