Bicyclist struck and injured in hit-and-run accident

Settlement for 20-year-old Boston area college student who was struck by a car as he rode his bicycle home after dark. The operator of the vehicle left the scene but witnesses and the police tracked him down and criminal charges were filed against him. The bicyclist suffered significant lacerations and puncture wounds to his legs resulting in skin grafting as well as a fractured hand. SUGARMAN attorneys facilitated a settlement with the driver’s insurance as well as with the bicyclist’s own insurer through underinsured motorist benefits on an out-of-state policy.
