At Mazow | McCullough, PC, we help pedestrians and bicyclists who have been injured in accidents caused by negligent drivers in Massachusetts. Our team fights to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on daily life. Below are examples of cases we’ve successfully resolved.
$600,000 for Fractured Skull and Head Injury
Our firm represented a client who was standing at a trolley stop when a motor vehicle veered off the road and struck her, throwing her several feet onto the platform. She suffered a fractured skull and a serious head injury. After gathering witness information and filing a lawsuit on her behalf, we were able to obtain a $600,000 settlement to compensate her for her injuries and the impact of the accident.
$250,000 for Bicyclist Injured in Accident
We represented a client who was riding his bicycle home from work when a car attempting a left turn struck him, causing multiple injuries to his shoulder, arm, hip, and knee. His injuries forced him to miss several months of work. We successfully negotiated a settlement for the full available insurance limits of $250,000 to cover his medical expenses, lost wages, and recovery.
$195,000 for Pedestrian Struck by Car
We secured a $195,000 settlement for a client who was hit by a car while crossing a supermarket parking lot. The vehicle, traveling around ten miles per hour, threw the pedestrian onto the pavement. Investigation revealed the driver was operating on a suspended license and had prior driving incidents.
The client sustained a large scalp laceration with memory loss, as well as right shoulder and bicep injuries, including an incomplete rotator cuff tear. Treatment was complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the settlement reflected the severity of the injuries and the driver’s negligence.
$100,000 for Pedestrian Hit by Fleeing Driver
Our firm obtained a $100,000 settlement for a client who was struck by a car while crossing the street after leaving a restaurant. The driver fled the scene and was later tracked down and arrested, ultimately denying awareness of hitting anyone. The client suffered serious injuries, and the case was resolved quickly for the maximum available insurance coverage without the need for litigation.
$100,000 for Pedestrian Hit by Car
We represented a client who was struck by the driver’s side mirror of a car, resulting in a shoulder injury. The driver fled the scene, but law enforcement was able to locate her. We successfully negotiated a settlement for the full available insurance limits of $100,000 on behalf of our client.
$100,000 for Pedestrian Injured in Wheelchair
We represented a 52-year-old client who uses a wheelchair and was backed into by a motor vehicle, causing his chair to be pushed several feet. Although he was not knocked over, the incident aggravated his pre-existing health and anxiety conditions, increasing his stress and fear of leaving home or traveling in his wheelchair. We were able to resolve the matter quickly and successfully by securing the full available insurance coverage of $100,000 without the need for litigation.
$90,000 After Jogger Hit by Drunk Driver
We obtained a $90,000 settlement for a 43-year-old physician who was struck by a drunk driver while jogging along Atlantic Avenue in Marblehead, Massachusetts. The driver swerved and hit the runner, throwing her into a nearby yard. The defendant was arrested and later convicted of drunk driving.
The plaintiff suffered soft tissue injuries to her left buttock along with neuropathic pain radiating down her leg. Although she did not require surgery, she underwent extensive physical therapy to relieve her symptoms. Despite the criminal conviction, the defendant contested liability, leading to two years of litigation and multiple depositions before the case ultimately settled shortly before trial.
