$300,000 Settlement for Cyclist's Wrongful Death

$300,000 uninsured motorist policy awarded at AAA arbitration to the family of a 16-year-old cyclist who was killed by a hit-and-run driver as he crossed a busy four-lane road. Plaintiff argued that despite it being dusk, the boy was wearing bright colors, and an investigation showed the vehicle took no evasive action prior to impact. The young man suffered a closed head injury, which included a cerebral edema and subdural hematoma. He underwent a craniotomy, but nonetheless died two days later, having never regained consciousness.
