Walkup bicycle injury attorneys represented a 52-year-old bicyclist who suffered a catastrophic brain injury while riding to work in San Jose. Our client was traveling in a designated bike lane when a driver abruptly cut him off, throwing him into the vehicle’s windshield and onto the pavement. He lost consciousness at the scene, and subsequent imaging revealed internal bleeding and a permanent brain injury that left him wheelchair-bound and unable to return to work.
Our firm pursued claims against both the inattentive driver and the helmet manufacturer, demonstrating that the helmet failed to provide adequate protection during the crash. After trial, the jury awarded a $17 million verdict in favor of our client.
