Bike Accident

My accident involved substantial damage to my custom road bike, and many abrasions and soft tissue injuries, including face, but nothing life-threatening. I tried to resolve the bike damage directly with the defendant, but he was not only resistant, but rude over a period of several months. He did n...ot respond to a demand letter which Chris sent pro bono, so we decided to pursue damages in court. We were successful in court-ordered artbitration, but the defendant appealed de novo. Thus, the case went to jury trial. Two years after the accident, Chris was successful in court proceedings, and the jury awarded me damages for bike repairs, and a bit for pain and suffering, which I did not ask for specifically. Chris handled the case well, and kept me informed. It helped that had had been a judge pro tem, and is a cyclist himself, very active in the Bicycle Tranportation Alliance in Portland.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
