An undocumented Mexican immigrant was on his bicycle, making a delivery for a restaurant, when he was struck by a car.  He sustained a fractured tibia. Our client is deaf, mute, illiterate, and does not speak sign language. It is nearly impossible for him to communicate, and the insurance company initially claimed that his inability to testify would lead to the case being dismissed. In fact, it ended up settling within 4 months of the accident, before any deposition testimony was taken. The defendant’s insurance company, Allstate, has a reputation of fighting every case tooth and nail, and hardly ever settles cases this early.
