Law Office of Edward Casey Jr.

At first blush, Lila’s case was a tricky one. She was riding her motorcycle in San Diego one morning when a bicyclist crossed the street in front of her. Lila laid her motorcycle down, but was not able to avoid a collision. The bicyclist broke his leg and sued Lila. Lila suffered multiple injuries, as well. However, we were able to locate an eye witness to the collision who said the bicyclist came out of nowhere, had crossed the street in the middle of a block without looking..., and further stated that Lila was not only not at fault, but had been heroic in putting herself at risk to avoid even greater injury to the negligent bicyclist. After the witness statement was presented to the bicyclist’s insurer, the case resolved rather quickly. Edward C.
