Hupy and Abraham, S.C. Attorney gets $725,000 Settlement for Cyclist

In 2006, an avid bicyclist in Chicago had her life turned upside down when, while turning a corner on a clear and sunny mid-July day, she suddenly lost control of her bicycle on what turned out to be a large accumulation of power steering fluid.  She sustained a serious fracture to her femur requiring two successful surgeries to rejoin the bone.  The power steering fluid came from an Acme Brick and Supply Company truck parked a block away from the scene of the accident.  While the insurance carrier for the brick supply company conceded that the power steering fluid was from their insured's truck, they denied that it was the cause of the accident, or that it had accumulated on the roadway as a result of any negligence on the part of their insured.  Thus, they denied the claim outright and refused to make any offers to compensate the bicyclist for her severe injuries.

The injured bicyclist came to Hupy and Abraham for help.  Northern Illinois A.B.A.T.E. Board Member, Attorney Pete Naylor, filed a lawsuit on her behalf.  In May of 2010, as a result of extensive discovery that revealed significant flaws behind the insurance carrier’s original stance, Attorney Naylor was able to obtain a $725,000.00 settlement for his client without a trial.
