Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses tells us about a memorable bike accident case he handled. He notes that the accident involving a young man riding his bicycle in Newton is more memorable for the biker than for the bike itself. The incident occurred when someone unexpectedly opened their car door, causing the young man to be thrown and sustain a serious head injury.

What makes this case particularly noteworthy is that the young man had previously organized an annual bike-a-thon to raise funds for Floating Hospital Children’s Hospital. After his injury, he could no longer ride his bike, yet the following year, he demonstrated remarkable determination by walking the bike route to continue his fundraising efforts. This resilience and dedication made the incident especially memorable.
