A motorcyclist who hit a stretch of disintegrating pavement on Interstate 20 settled his personal injury claims against the Georgia Department of Transportation for $550,000.
In addition to suffering severe “road burn” on his arms and abdomen as he skidded down the highway, Reginald Rogers of North Carolina suffered an open fracture of his right ankle and a torn tendon requiring surgery that left him with a permanently weakened ankle, according to attorney Thomas “Woody” Sampson II of Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins.
