Indiana residents injured out of state in a motorcycle accident suffer serious injuries
- Motorcycle Accident
Confidential Settlement
Sometimes Indiana residents are injured while out of state. Tabor Law Firm
represented a husband and wife who were injured in a motorcycle accident
in Wethersfield, Connecticut. At that time, our clients were traveling
in the right northbound lane, and at the same time a motor vehicle operator
was also traveling northbound, but in the center lane. Unexpectedly, the
motor vehicle operator made an unsafe lane change cutting across the right
lane, and crossed the shoulder of the off ramp to exit the highway. As
a result of this unsafe lane change, the front tire of our client's
motorcycle made contact with the right rear bumper of the motor vehicle,
causing our client to lose control of his motorcycle. Our clients were
thrown off the motorcycle as it laid down on its left side and slid to
the right shoulder, and were severely injured.
The driver of the motorcycle was admitted into an Intensive Care Unit for
5 days with a lacerated left kidney, seven fractured ribs, a collapsed
lung, a lacerated spleen, severe back pain and road rash. His wife, the
passenger of the motorcycle also suffered a concussion, a right wrist
distal fracture and a left ulnar fracture.
Tabor Law Firm obtained a substantial settlement for both our clients from
the at fault driver's insurance carrier, as well as our client's
own automobile policy without filing a lawsuit. When Hoosiers are injured
out of state, Tabor Law Firm can assist with bringing a claim.

Roadway defects cause serious injuries to motorcyclist
- Motorcycle Accident
Six-Figure Settlement
Our client was operating a motorcycle when she lost control and was injured
when the motorcycle went down. Her own insurance was not sufficient to
cover all of her losses, and she reached out to Tabor Law Firm for help.
Our investigators were sent to the scene of the collision and determined
that another party was responsible for our client's injuries.
When the accident occurred, our client was approaching the traffic signal
on the west side of Interstate 69. Her motorcycle encountered irregularities
and uneven pavement, causing the motorcycle to unexpectedly wobble and
become difficult to steady and control. Her front tire then hit another
patch of irregular and uneven pavement, turning the front wheel abruptly.
Our client was then ejected from the motorcycle and sustained serious
and permanent injuries.
We sued the entity responsible for maintaining the roadways in a safe condition
for all motorists and were able to obtain a six-figure settlement on our
client's behalf.

- Motorcycle Accident
Confidential Recovery
Our client was an Indiana State Trooper who was operating a motorcycle
on interstate 70 through a construction zone when a driver pulled into
his lane of travel, causing a collision. Our client was seriously injured
and unable to work as a Trooper thereafter. The driver that caused the
collision had recently purchased the vehicle involved in the collision,
and his automobile insurance initially denied the claim because he had
not obtained insurance for the new vehicle. We were able to change the
insurance company's position and they paid the policy limits. Additional
coverage and settlement was obtained from a carrier insuring the motorist
at the time.
During our investigation into the collision, our experts determined that
the construction zone was dangerous and we made a claim against the Indiana
Department of Transportation. We were able to make another recovery for
our client by investigating all potential negligent parties. This case
represents Tabor Law Firm's commitment to explore and obtain recoveries
from all responsible parties on behalf of their clients.

- Motorcycle Accident
Six-Figure Settlement
Our client was traveling on his motorcycle down East River Road in Attica,
Indiana on April 26, 2015. He saw water on the roadway ahead, and reduced
his speed to approximately twenty (20) miles per hour. Our client was
not aware of the large potholes in the right-of-way until after he was
injured; he thought he was just going to travel through a little water.
Our client had almost gotten all the way around the area and was near
the center of the road when his front tire hit the pothole. When his front
tire hit the hole, he was thrown up and over his bike. Our client and
his bike hit the ground, rolled, and the bike then struck him. After our
client's bike struck his body, he slid and came to rest near the right
side of the road.
As a result of Fountain County's negligence in maintaining their roadway,
our client became a paraplegic, and suffered from other orthopedic injuries as well.
Tabor Law Firm obtained a six-figure settlement from the Defendants'
insurance carriers.
