The family of a woman who was seriously and permanently injured in a motorcycle accident and the victim were recently awarded $7 million in a lawsuit against the driver who caused the accident.
The motorcycle accident occurred in Florida in 2009 when a drunk driver crashed into the victim’s boyfriend’s motorcycle. The woman was ejected from the bicycle and sent flying 40 feet in the air into a concrete pole. Her boyfriend died in the tragic accident.
The victim of the accident suffered a serious brain injury and several other injuries. For 4 months, the woman stayed in the hospital undergoing surgeries and rehabilitation. Now, the victim needs 24-hour care and is living at a nursing home. She can no longer care for her teenage son.
The victim’s mother filed the lawsuit seeking compensation for the woman’s injuries, past and future medical expenses, and more.
