CAMDEN -- An Oaklyn man received an $800,000 settlement after being hit by a car while riding his bike in 2013, according to New Jersey Law Journal (NJLJ).
Harry Hinshilwood, now 70, was seriously injured while riding on Elbo Lane in Mount Laurel in August of 2013. The last in a line of cyclists, Hinshilwood was struck by a vehicle from behind. The driver of the vehicle, Elijah Thielman, claimed he did not see Hinshilwood due to sun glare, the law journal reported.
After being knocked from his bike, Hinshilwood hit the windshield and then the ground. As a result of the crash, he had a concussion, several injuries to his spine, numerous broken bones and abrasions on the right side of his body, the journal reported. His injuries left him with no memory of the accident.
Hinshilwood filed a lawsuit in Camden County and it was settled before the case received a trial date.
Hinshillwood agreed to the $800,000 settlement on Dec. 20, 2016 and was paid the funds from Allstate Insurance Co., the carrier for Thielman, on Jan. 6, the report said.
