Chandler Ross Injury Attorneys Secures $1 Million Settlement for Dallas Cyclist Injured by Suspected Drunk Driver

A bicyclist riding at night in downtown Dallas was struck by an intoxicated motorist, sustaining a broken leg and other serious injuries requiring surgery, hospitalization, and extensive rehabilitation. The cyclist also lost significant wages during recovery.

Chandler Ross Injury Attorneys represented the injured cyclist. During two-day mediation, the defendant's insurance company offered only $350,000. The parties reached a $1 million settlement—the full policy limit—just days before the case was scheduled to proceed to trial. The settlement covers past medical expenses, anticipated future treatment, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering.

The managing attorneys noted the substantial gap between pre-trial insurance offers and the full value obtained through trial preparation and negotiation, emphasizing the importance of holding insurers accountable for the full measure of damages in serious injury cases.
