$ 1,400,000.00 settlement for husband and wife in motorcycle accident$ 1,400,000.00 settlement during trial and after appeal by a husband and wife. Our clients, a husband and wife, were on a motorcycle which was struck by a speeding car which ran a red light. The husband had a leg amputation above the knee, and the wife had multiple fractures. Both suffered closed head injuries. The driver of the at-fault vehicle was driving a lease vehicle, which under the new long-term lease statute would have provided only $400,000.00 in total coverage to both of our clients. This case involved one of the first cases litigated under the new long-term lease statute. After lengthy litigation to determine additional insurance coverage on the part of the long-term lessor of the vehicle, which included certain issues determined on appeal, the case was settled during trial and resulted in a total recovery to our clients of $1,400,000.00.
