Nearly $1 Million Settlement to Bikers Down Founder
In an effort to make a difference in the life of others, a seriously injured biker started a non-profit organization called Bikers Down following his own accident. It is through this organization that he educates other bikers on the dramatic effect a serious accident can have on a family’s life. It is Scott Perzentka’s goal to raise a substantial amount of money in the future to help other bikers in the event they are confronted with a catastrophic accident like his. We support Bikers Down and encourage everyone to do likewise. Visit his website at www.bikersdown.us. The following is his story.
On July 3, 2003, the life of Scott Perzentka was shattered. As he was test driving a Harley Davidson motorcycle from a local dealership, a semi-truck, without warning, started to make a left hand turn in front of the motorcycle. Although Mr. Perzentka made a frantic effort to avoid the semi-truck by slamming on his brakes and laying down his motorcycle, he was unable to avoid the collision. Mr. Perzentka smashed into the front of the semi-truck and was ejected from the motorcycle. The City of Oshkosh ambulance rushed Mr. Perzentka from the scene of the accident to Mercy Medical Center with life threatening injuries. While en route to the hospital, Mr. Perzentka faded in and out of consciousness. His primary diagnoses included a traumatic brain injury; a fractured pelvis, hip and jaw; an ankle injury; and numerous contusions, abrasions and lacerations.
On July 29, 2003, Mr. Perzentka was transferred into the physical rehabilitation unit at Mercy Medical Center where he began his long, painful road to recovery. Finally, one hundred days following this collision, he was released from the hospital into the care of his mother. Mr. Perzentka’s doctors viewed him as a medical miracle. His hard work and dedication to his recovery made him a model patient. Although Mr. Perzentka worked tirelessly to bring his body back to health, he can no longer participate in running, jumping or lifting in excess of 75 pounds. He continues also to receive follow up treatment regarding the psychological trauma of being involved in such a dramatic accident.
Over and above the physical and emotional injuries Mr. Perzentka sustained as a result of the July, 2003, accident, he was also presented with professional challenges. Prior to this collision, Mr. Perzentka owned and operated three companies. Unfortunately, based on the injuries he sustained in the accident, he was forced to close two. However, Mr. Perzentka now dedicates himself to the continued success of the remaining company that has been in existence for over 50 years. I am sure that he will have nothing but continued success based on his positive outlook and hard work.
Immediately following the accident, Mr. Perzentka’s mother contacted our law firm and our experienced team began working on his claim. Attorney Jason F. Abraham was able to resolve Mr. Perzentka’s claim without the necessity of a lawsuit. The insurance company paid approximately $950,000 in settlement of this claim as a result of Jason F. Abraham’s efforts on behalf of Mr. Perzentka. This payment was received even though the company that owned the semi-truck was in receivership. We are happy to report that Mr. Perzentka has made an astounding recovery based on the injuries he received. We are sure that he will make a difference to many bikers in the future based on his dedication to the cause. We are happy to call him our client and our friend.
