Biker Receives $343,000.00 From Jury

On September 5, 2001, James Bishop was test-driving a Harley-Davidson Sportster in Sauk County, Wisconsin, when a woman attempted to make a left-hand turn into her driveway. Mr. Bishop had no place to go, and his motorcycle slammed into the rear of the vehicle. The car’s driver said she didn’t see Mr. Bishop’s bike except in her peripheral vision, but she knew he was speeding. Mr. Bishop was unconscious at the scene of the accident and had no memory of the facts of the accident.

Following the accident, Mr. Bishop was flown to the University of Wisconsin Hospital for treatment of a serious leg injury suffered as a result of the accident. The insurance company took the position that Mr. Bishop was 100% at fault for this accident. As a result, they never made an offer to resolve this claim. Attorney Jason F. Abraham rejected this position. He believed that Mr. Bishop was driving, the speed limit and, the other driver should have seen his motorcycle. Mr. Bishop’s medical expenses were in excess of $100,000.00.

Upon conclusion of the trial, a 12-person jury rendered a verdict awarding Mr. Bishop $343,000.00 in past and future damages. The jury rejected the insurance company’s position that Mr. Bishop was the cause of this accident. Mr. Bishop was thrilled with the result and the award will help him and his family put this matter behind them. This is another example of a law firm that is willing to do whatever it takes to help bikers.
