Attorneys Gus Nicklow, Josh Tuchscherer, and Andrew Davick secured a $6 million settlement for a motorcyclist who suffered catastrophic injuries in a crash involving a commercial vehicle in Washington County, Minnesota.
The crash happened on June 18, 2017, while the client was out for an evening motorcycle ride. According to the evidence, a commercial vehicle pulled out in front of him, leaving him with no reasonable time or space to avoid the collision. The impact caused serious injuries, including a severe shoulder injury and other trauma that required extensive medical treatment.
From the beginning, the case was heavily disputed. The commercial vehicle’s insurance company denied responsibility and argued that the motorcyclist was speeding at the time of the crash. Witness statements were also used to support the claim that the rider may have been partially or fully at fault.
Before coming to Meshbesher & Spence, the client had been turned down by another well-known Minneapolis law firm due to the liability challenges in the case. Despite those obstacles, the Meshbesher & Spence team agreed to take on the matter and conducted a detailed review of the crash evidence.
Attorneys Nicklow, Tuchscherer, and Davick investigated the circumstances of the collision, questioned witnesses, and worked with medical experts to fully document the extent of the client’s injuries and the long-term impact on his life. The case focused not only on how the crash occurred, but also on the future care and medical needs resulting from the injuries.
After a lengthy legal battle, the case ultimately resolved with a $6 million settlement. The recovery reflects compensation for the client’s medical expenses, ongoing care, lost earning capacity, and the lasting effects of the injuries sustained in the crash.
