Motorcyclist Receives $2.9 Million Award

A Milwaukee motorcyclist represented by Attorney Michael F. Hupy, who was injured in an accident on May 8, 1992, has received a $2.9 million cash settlement. Mr. Schmidt was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and suffered no head injury. Schmidt said, “I have 100% confidence in my lawyers.”

The accident occurred on Highway 73 in Waushara County at approximately 11:15 p.m. on May 8, 1992, when a car driven by James Stirton and owned by Gelco Corporation spun out of control, went backwards across the highway and ended up in the ditch on the opposite side of the highway. Mr. Schmidt was hit when the Stirton vehicle crossed the centerline. Stirton did not see Mr. Schmidt or know that he had hit a motorcyclist until a truck driver who witnessed the accident pointed that fact out to him. As a result of the accident, Mr. Schmidt suffered multiple serious injuries. His aorta was completely severed and the ends had separated a distance of three inches by the time surgery was done eight hours later. The blood flow from his heart was maintained only because of a thin membrane around his aorta. Mr. Schmidt also suffered a broken right leg as a result of the accident and was left paralyzed from the waist down because the blood flow to his spinal column was interrupted during the life-saving operation on his aorta.

Attorney Hupy used part of his fee to try to promote awareness of motorcycles by other highway users.
