Two Winnebago County motorcycle riders who were seriously injured in a 2019 crash have settled their case for $5.3 million. The plaintiffs were “riding staggered” headed south on Route 213 in Magnolia, Wis., when the defendant entered the intersection headed west on County Highway B.
One plaintiff was intubated for 11 days and needed to be put on life support. He also suffered a hip fracture and nerve damage, resulting in a dropped foot, and a left wrist fracture which has significantly limited his range of motion. The other suffered a fracture to her left tibia, a left degloving injury and a complete heel pad avulsion, in addition to several broken bones in her foot. Despite undergoing extensive surgeries to rebuild her leg and foot, it is possible the plaintiff, will still need to have her left leg amputated below the knee.
