Injured cyclist awarded compensation more than double that of the defendant’s final offer.
17 November 2020
What happened?
Our client was travelling on his push bike when he was hit by a motorist pulling out of their driveway. He was consequently thrown off his bike and flew over the bonnet of the car, causing multiple injuries. He fractured his nose, suffered post-concussion syndrome and sustained soft tissue injuries to his right shoulder, arm and thumb.
How did True Solicitors help?
The defendant’s insurer in this case made a final offer to settle the case at £3509 – a valuation that we deemed to be considerably less than what we would accept as an appropriate settlement for a claim of this nature. For this reason we advised our client to reject the insurer’s offer and to commence court proceedings – which we went on to do.
The judge awarded a compensation settlement of £7359, more than double that of the defendant’s final offer of £3509. This included obtaining an interim payment of £2463 to the client to cover damages caused by their physical injuries and bike damage repair costs incurred due to the accident.
Compensation Settlement: £7359
