The Incident
In 2016, our client experienced a life-altering event while riding his motorcycle. He was struck from behind by a reckless driver who fled the scene, leaving him injured and without any information about the at-fault party. The force of the collision threw our client into a concrete median, resulting in a severe knee injury. Medical examinations confirmed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee, requiring extensive medical treatment and a prolonged recovery process.
The Challenges of a Hit-and-Run Case
Hit-and-run accidents are particularly complex, as victims are often left without the ability to hold the at-fault driver directly accountable. In this case, our client faced mounting medical bills, physical pain, and uncertainty about how he would recover financially. With no information about the driver who caused the accident, the only available avenue for compensation was through an uninsured motorist (UM) claim with his own insurance provider.
How Cantor Injury Law Helped
Recognizing the challenges of this case, Mark Cantor and his team stepped in to fight for justice. They worked diligently to gather evidence, including the police report, witness statements, and medical records, to build a strong UM claim. Cantor Injury Law negotiated aggressively with the insurance company, ensuring that our client’s injuries and damages were fully acknowledged and fairly valued.
The Hit-And-Run Settlement
Our firm secured the full policy limits of $100,000 for the uninsured motorist claim, along with an additional $1,000 for medical payments to help cover out-of-pocket healthcare costs. This hit-and-run settlement provided the financial support our client needed to address his medical expenses and move forward with his recovery.
