Overview

In November 2009, a 69-year-old male cyclist was tragically struck by a negligent driver in Long Beach, CA. The cyclist was riding with the right-of-way when the driver, distracted and not paying attention to the traffic, merged into the cyclist’s lane, causing a severe collision. The impact threw the cyclist off his bicycle, causing him to land on his head and suffer a traumatic brain injury. Despite medical efforts, the cyclist succumbed to his injuries in April 2011. The defendant’s reckless driving was in violation of several California Vehicle Codes, including failing to safely change lanes and driving at an unsafe speed. Despite these clear violations, the defendants disputed the compensation amount for the client’s successor-in-interest.

Results

Attorneys Messrs. Khakshooy and Agarwal of the California Attorney Group successfully navigated the complex legal dispute, engaging in discussions with both the defendant and the client’s successor-in-interest. Through their diligent representation and negotiation skills, they secured a $2.25 million settlement for the wrongful death claim, providing justice and financial relief to the deceased’s family.

Conclusion

This case demonstrates the California Attorney Group’s commitment to justice and their ability to handle sensitive wrongful death claims effectively. Their success in securing a substantial settlement reflects their expertise in personal injury law and their dedication to advocating for victims and their families.
