KARADIMAS V. SOLMON

The Plaintiff, Mr. Vasilios (“Bill”) Karadimas suffered a catastrophic brain injury when the bicycle he was riding collided with a motor vehicle. The collision had occurred within the driver’s lane of traffic while Bill was in the process of making a left turn. The Defendant and her insurance company took the position that Bill was at-fault for the collision and refused to accept a reasonable offer made by the Plaintiffs to settle the case. As such, the case went to trial. Darcy Merkur, Deanna S. Gilbert, and Daniel Klein secured an excellent result for Bill and his family, whereby the jury not only found the Defendant to be at-fault for the collision, but 66% at-fault (which was approximately double the percentage upon which the Plaintiffs’ had made their pre-trial offer to settle).
