Harris Fowler successfully secured a £222,000 settlement for a motorcyclist who suffered severe leg injuries after a car suddenly pulled out in front of him while attempting a dangerous U-turn.
Our client was riding his motorbike responsibly, wearing full protective clothing and a helmet, and travelling well within the speed limit at the time of the collision.
As he approached a slight bend in the road, he noticed a vehicle parked on his side of the carriageway. As he carefully manoeuvred around the parked vehicle, the driver suddenly and without warning pulled out directly into his path in an attempt to perform a U-turn.
The collision caused our client to be thrown from his motorcycle, resulting in severe and complex injuries to his leg. Due to the seriousness of the injuries, he required specialist surgical treatment and extensive rehabilitation.
Serious Injuries Impacted Our Client’s Ability to Work
Prior to the accident, our client was fit, healthy, and employed full-time as an HGV driver. However, the significant injuries sustained in the motorcycle accident left him unable to work for a prolonged period.
In addition to lost earnings, he also required ongoing care and assistance during his recovery.
Our experienced personal injury solicitors acted quickly to secure physiotherapy treatment shortly after the accident to support his rehabilitation and maximise his recovery.
Expert Medical Evidence Helped Maximise Compensation
As part of the claim, independent medical experts confirmed that our client may require further treatment and medical care later in life due to the lasting effects of his injuries.
These future treatment costs, along with loss of earnings, rehabilitation expenses, pain and suffering, and ongoing care needs, were carefully considered when valuing the claim.
After liability was admitted, the Defendant made an offer of compensation which was successfully negotiated and agreed by Harris Fowler.
The claim was settled within 18 months of the accident, securing £222,000 in compensation for our client.
