$200k Mediated Settlement for Bicycle Collision

Our client was the helmeted bicyclist traveling northbound on the west crosswalk of Franklin Street crossing California Street in Mountain View, California. At that time, the defendant was operating a vehicle traveling westbound on California Street through the intersection of Franklin Street.

The defendant was looking at his phone and did not pay attention to the road ahead and struck the bicycle. Our client was knocked to the ground on his right side, sustaining injuries.

Our client was accompanied by their parents and presented to the emergency department of El Camino Hospital for evaluation and treatment of the injuries sustained due to the bicyclist versus motor vehicle collision that occurred. They complained of pain on the right side of their face, right arm, and left knee. Physical examination demonstrated abrasion to the face, right shoulder, right elbow, and left knee. The X-rays of the right shoulder and left knee and the CT scans of the brain and sinus facial bones were ordered and performed.
