My Name is Joe Morelli of the Law Offices of Mark E.Salomone & Morelli in Hartford Connecticut. We are a personal injury law firm handling injury cases throughout the state of Connecticut. I'd like to tell you about a case we handled just recently last year about a motorcycle passenger who was involved in a very sever accident.

Motorcycle Accident Case

Female Motorcycle Passenger

Severe Tissue Loss

She was a passenger who boarded the motorcycle in Meridian. Her driver was a friend of hers who then proceeded up 91 north though Middle Town and eventually Rocky Hill. As part of our exhaustive investigation we discovered there was a handlebar mounted camera on the motorcycle. Based on our extensive experience handling motorcycle cases we always perform a thorough investigation including a reconstruction of the events leading up to the crash. Like solving a puzzle we piece together the most minute of details of the actions of each car truck and motorcycle to create a foundation for maximum recovery.

It was though this analysis that we determined that the motorcycle did in fact have a mounted camera. That had recorded the entire trip and it's fatal consequences. We immediately moved to secure an exact copy of the accident video. We could not have come up with a more key piece of evidence to tie in all of the insurance companies. We discovered it had been activated just before the accident and it showed in real time what happened. The operator of the motorcycle was racing four other motorcycles at speeds in excess of 160 miles per hour.

This fatal accident was devastating and our client suffered severe injuries to her upper body. She was fortunate and it was miraculous that she wasn't killed. She had some soft tissue injuries to her neck area, had some damage to her ribs, primarily though she sustained massive tissue loss from her upper arm. Major pieces of muscle pieces of her upper arm were missing or destroyed. Multiple reconstructive surgeries were required to regain some use of her arm.

As you can see from the break lights, the heavy traffic was unexpectedly slowing. By analyzing the actions of all veihicles we aggressivly persued each insurance company to obtain a substantial total recovery for our client from each available insurance policy.

Apon approaching the insurance companies they agreed with us that this was a very significant case. And we were able to obtain a policy limit recovery consistent with such a catastrophic loss. The client was very pleased that we were able to get a prompt resolution to this case and it was though our efforts in obtaining both the DVD and all of her medical records, making sure she obtained the doctors she needed to go to that we were able to obtain a successful result.

She was pleased and we were very pleased on her behalf.

  • All the riders involved are morons. That is a scientifically proven fact according to the video. The passenger paid the price. If you want to race your bike, take it to the track not the road. And the kind of lane cutting and moronic co-ordination in the clip is incredible.

    Ruined his bike, ruined his gf, ruined his life and the life of his family and friends.

  • from watching what this clip who exactly was sued, because if you sued the trucker you guys should all rot in hell. I have no idea where you are getting mutliple insurance companies from this video

see all

  • @BlueAvenue22

    Nice to know...thanks!

  • @MeskovicZ You're absurd.

  • He must have been out selling snake oil when he followed the ambulance to Hospital !

  • What a fucking clown , no other drivers at fault , this is why we are fuck paying high insurance policy ,

  • Ok I've been stupid and done shit similar to this, but that right there is suicide!!!!!! EXTREME RISKTAKING wtf was he thinking with someone on the back especially!

  • So she sat (by her own free will) with her friend on motorcycle ,and crashed? Doesn't that mean that she accepted the risk of accident by sitting on motorcycle?

    Let me quote you: "we aggressivly persued each insurance company to obtain a substantial total recovery" so who you sued? Whole traffic?

    If you came with that silly "aggressive attitude" to make me pay for someone obvious stupidity ,i would LOL so hard that probably walls would disintegrate in my office...

  • @iTheGeek I understand what you're trying to say but she was the passenger. The rider was at fault. Most state laws won't fault the passenger for the idiocy of the rider/driver of a vehicle but yeah..those guys are what makes real motorcyclist look bad and sooner or later that nonsense will catch up with you and the price is usually steep.

  • @nismofury Agree! I'm a rider so I usually try to see the bikers viewpoint but not here. These guys are waaaay outta line.163mph on a crowded public HWY? Are they serious? When he says went after "each insurance company" he better mean the bikers cuz the trucker did nothing wrong. Bad to see anyone die but at least he only killed himself and the passenger survived..albeit severely injured.

  • min 1:09 Holy shit I jumped on my chair! seriously these people should not ride motorcycles

  • Another example of slimy lawyers blaming all but those truly at fault. No wonder why insurance and medical liability are so out of hand. We all pay for this....and the attorney just get richer. Stupidity is the new lottery for our Darwin award winners.
