November 4, 2010

A Chicago firefighter who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident in 2004 has reached a settlement agreement with Harley Davidson. Jim McMahon. 53, is paralyzed from the chest down because of a defect in his motorcycle. According to the personal injury lawyer representing McMahon, the Harley Davidson began to wobble due to the defective equipment and eventually crashed on an Arizona Highway causing his paralysis.

McMahon now requires a wheelchair and around-the-clock care. The lawyers and McMahon reached an undisclosed settlement on Thursday, November 4, 2010.
