Bicycle Accident – Knee Injury & Fractured Ankle Settlement

Our client was a 50-year-old man riding his bicycle on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in California when two cars sideswiped each other and one clipped the back of his bicycle tire, causing him to crash to the ground. The collision resulted in a knee injury requiring arthroscopic surgery and a fractured ankle – both serious orthopedic injuries with significant recovery times and the potential for lasting limitations in mobility and physical activity.

Bicycle accidents on California roads – particularly on busy coastal routes like PCH – often result in serious injuries because cyclists have no protective barrier against the force of a collision. In this case, our client was an innocent third party caught in a multi-vehicle accident, bearing the full physical consequences of two drivers’ negligence through no fault of his own.

Feher Law pursued the case through the litigation process, with trial originally scheduled for March 2020. The case ultimately settled in July 2020 for $720,000, fully compensating our client for the knee surgery, fractured ankle, medical expenses, lost income, and the pain and suffering caused by the bicycle crash on PCH. If you were injured in a bicycle accident in California, Feher Law is ready to fight for your full recovery.
