| Bicycle
Accident case settles for $1.3 million dollars |
Mr.
Emroch represented the estate of Ms. Neeley, a 60-year-old mother
of two adult children. On June 30, 1999, while riding her bicycle,
along with her 65-year-old husband, on a cross-country trip
from Virginia Beach to San Francisco, she was rear-ended by
the defendant in Montgomery County, Virginia. Ms. Neeley was
killed instantly when she broke her neck after striking the
ground. A lawsuit was filed in Federal Court in Roanoke. Ms.
Neeley had been in excellent condition for her age and had participated
in numerous marathons. Her husband and children were all well
educated, with degrees from Ivy League universities. The close-knit
family was devastated by the loss of Ms. Neeley. After commencing
litigation, the firm obtained a settlement in the amount of
$1.3 million dollars for Ms. Neeley's family.
