Contact UsOn December 1, 2013, Jay was returning home from a charity motorcycle event in Harrison County, W.Va. on his 2006 Kawasaki. Proceeding north on U.S. Route 119, a driver collided into the rear of his motorcycle, pitching Jay approximately 25 feet and running over his right ankle and head. Jay sustained multiple fractures, dislocations, scraps, burns and road-rash as a result of the collision.
After being discharged from West Virginia University Hospital, Jay was non-weight bearing for right leg. For the next month, Jay worked with an orthopedic doctor, but still experienced discomfort with movement of his right arm. He was unable to sleep in a bed and slept upright for six to seven weeks following the accident. After two additional months of physical therapy, Jay still had difficulty walking on uneven surfaces and was experiencing pain with movement of his right arm.
The Differentiator
Upon receiving Jay’s call, WF&M promptly handled all legal aspects of the case, enabling the client to focus on a full recovery without financial hardship.
The Outcome
Wilson, Frame and Metheney obtained the police report, accident photos and physical evidence from the scene to prove that the driver was following Jay too closely at the time of the accident and failed to maintain control of her vehicle. Upon viewing the accident photos and other evidence, the other driver’s lawyer dropped the dispute immediately, winning Jay a settlement to cover loss of wages, physical pain and medical expenses.
