Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death:
Bicycle Hit by Delivery Truck in Bike Lane
$2,469,339 Bicycle Accident Verdict >>>
"I commute to my office using the Minneapolis bike lanes," stated Attorney Fred Pritzker, "I have seen close-up how many drivers ignore the bike riders. A few months ago, I was hit but not seriously injured."
"Minnesota law requires drivers, especially drivers of commercial trucks, to use extra caution when driving near a bike lane. When a bicyclist is run over and killed by a delivery truck or any other commercial truck, the trucking company and the truck driver need to be held accountable."

Commercial truck accidents are different from regular accidents for a number of reasons, one of which is that many parties may be held accountable for the wrongful death:
- The driver of the delivery truck
- The trucking company, in this case Quicksilver Express
- The owner of freight being delivered, under certain circumstances
- A maintenance company, if a poorly maintained part is involved
- A manufacturing company if a defective part is involved (for example, a recent commercial truck recall involved mirrors that were not intalled correctly)
