We successfully recovered £5,675 in compensation, including damages for the client’s injuries, replacement bike, clothing and a pair of damaged sports glasses worth £860.
A side-road collision with more than just injury damage
Side-road collisions are a common risk for cyclists. When a driver emerges from a side road without properly accounting for an approaching rider, there may be very little time for the cyclist to react.
In this case, our client was knocked from his bicycle by a car emerging from a side road. As well as suffering injuries, the accident caused damage to his bike, clothing and sports glasses.
Laura pursued the claim and successfully recovered compensation for both the client’s injuries and the damaged cycling equipment. The final settlement was £5,675, including the replacement of cycling items such as the client’s bike, clothing and sports glasses valued at £860.
