In Rider v. Rideshare Company (Bay Area Sup. Ct.), Douglas Saeltzer and Conor Kelly secured a $1,850,000 recovery for a 25-year-old student struck by a rideshare driver while on his scooter. The driver ran a red light at high speed, causing our client serious orthopedic injuries and post-concussive syndrome, requiring multiple surgeries. He was also diagnosed with PTSD. The defense disputed liability, claiming comparative fault. The Walkup team overcame these defenses using traffic video, eyewitness testimony, and expert testimony documenting long-term orthopedic and psychological harm. The case settled after the full scope of loss was documented in discovery.
