Our client, an off-duty law enforcement officer, was riding his motorcycle on a rural two-lane county road when a young woman driving a car made a sudden left-hand turn across his path. Our client sustained a burst fracture at T-12 and was rendered an "incomplete" paraplegic.

Instead, the case went to trial and the jury found the defendant 96-percent at fault, awarding our client a $9.4 million verdict that included $1.8 million in consortium damages awarded to his spouse.
