Missouri Injury Law Blog

Missouri Personal Injury Attorney, Benjamin Sansone, has been recently retained as a St Louis bicycle lawyer to represent a St. Charles County cyclist who was struck by a drunk driver and thrown from his bike, causing severe personal injuries.

Both the drunk driver and the bicyclist were traveling west on the south service road. The drunk and negligent driver of the truck rear-ended the back tire of the bicycle, sending the cyclist over his handlebars and landing 35 feet from the initial impact site. The at fault and negligent driver stated that he never saw the Missouri cyclist prior to colliding with him. The injured cyclist was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital in critical condition and the drunk driver, who was suspected of intoxication, was taken to jail.

The personal injury victim and cyclist suffers from multiple fractures in his back, a head injury – which caused him to lose consciousness for several hours, debilitating knee injuries, abrasions down his arms and legs, along with many other injuries that he has not been officially diagnosed with yet .

Once the injured cyclist has reached his maximum medical improvement, Sansone Law will be filing a Missouri personal injury negligence claim against the driver if his insurance company is not willing to settle the personal injury claim for the full value of his severe personal injuries, pain and suffering, and disabilities that will affect the injured biker the rest of his life. Additionally, after filing the negligence claim, personal injury lawyer Ben Sansone will pursue punitive damages against the Missouri drunk driver.

Personal Injury lawyer, Benjamin Sansone, is an avid cyclist and which, combined with his legal experience and personal injury lawsuit results, makes him an excellent Missouri bicycle attorney.

The Illinois injury lawyer for the Illinois personal injury victim filed against the Illinois liability insurance for the homeowner, the pellet gun owner and the shooter of the pellet gun. All three individuals’ personal injury insurance coverage companies settled for the grand total of $335,000.

As a child of the BB gun day, this recent Illinois personal injury pellet gun settlement amused me. I grew up in a comparatively country-er setting than where I live now. I was surrounded by woods, hills and motorcycle trails. But, I was not surrounded by a lot of girls my age to play with. So, a fun day for us was painting our faces with mud, dressing in camouflage, hurling real North Carolina red clay dirt clods, and shooting each other with BB guns. It was war. Kill or be killed. I cannot count the number of times my mother dug BB’s out of mine and my sibling’s body. When you didn’t cry during the “operations” you were promoted in ranks. It was almost an honor to be shot. That meant you were a creditable opponent - worth going after. We had a code that we played by: no shooting above the neck and we were not allowed to pack rocks in the dirt clods. When one of the kids violated a rule, they were out. Kids were bloody, bruised and literally knocked out. To this day I refuse to wear certain clothing that shows the many scars on my legs from playing chicken on motorcycles and those neighborhood wars. Don’t get me started on when we discovered Chinese throwing stars.
