$1,100,000 Verdict For Motorcyclist

Miguel Rivera, who was injured in a motorcycle accident on July 10, 1995, received a jury verdict of $1,100,000 on May 16, 2000. He was represented by Attorney Michael F. Hupy. Another law firm represented Rivera for 2-1/2 years before our law firm became involved. Rivera’s first lawyers withdrew from the case when State Farm Insurance Company would make no offer to settle his claim. Attorney Michael F. Hupy convinced a jury to award $1,100,000 to Rivera.

Rivera was injured when he passed a car driven by Beth Vandeboom. Ms. Vandeboom claimed that she had turned on her left directional signal before turning into her driveway on Stone School Road in Mukwonago. Rivera disputed that her directional was on, saying that he followed the Vandeboom for 0.4 mile without seeing any brake lights or directional signals activated. Rivera worked at the Post Office for 20 years and had to take disability retirement this year because of a knee injury sustained in the accident. Rivera’s medical bills were $42,000, and he lost $50,000 in wages. His verdict was the largest in Milwaukee County in the past year.

Awarded: $1,100,000.00
