Bentley & More reach $2 Million settlement involving a cyclist hit & run

Bentley & More LLP attorneys Keith More and Michael McDonald recently obtained a $2,000,000 settlement on behalf of their client, the daughter of a 64-year-old bicyclist who was hit and killed by a motorist while crossing the street in a designated crosswalk.  Mr. More and Mr. McDonald claimed that the motorist was not only negligent in causing the incident, but that the motorist then fled the scene without providing aid or alerting the proper authorities.  Although the defendant disputed their client’s damages and filed a motion to stay the civil case while authorities investigated the incident, Mr. More and Mr. McDonald aggressively litigated the case, despite the recent court closures, and were able to obtain the seven-figure settlement within only a few short months.  Said Keith More, “we are so grateful to have settled this case and allow our client to grieve without the pressure of further litigation.”
