Motorbike Claims Case Studies
W v B
Claimant represented by: Grant Fowler
This was a claim in which our client sustained significant injuries in a road traffic accident, our client being on a motorbike and the Defendant being in a car which came round on the wrong side of the road. As a result of the injuries sustained, our client was paralysed in the right upper part of his body.
The claim was unsuccessful at first instance, with the Court deciding that it was our client rather than the Defendant who was on the wrong side of the road, but this decision was reversed by the Court of Appeal and our client succeeded in the case and recovered substantial compensation.
Some time after the case concluded Grant was asked to and became Godfather to our clients son, who was named after him.
Claimant represented by: Louise Baker
Louise successfully acted for a client who was injured whilst riding his bicycle. The client injured his wrists as a consequence of the accident.
Our client was a successful amateur boxer who had ambitions to turn professional, but was prevented from doing so as a consequence of the injuries he sustained in the accident. The case was complicated both in terms of the medical evidence and also the evidence which needed to be gathered to show the likely prospects of the client having a successful professional boxing career. Despite this Louise was able to provide the necessary evidence, and obtained a substantial settlement for the client based upon the loss of the chance for him to pursue his career as a professional boxer.
