Circumstances of the accident
Our client was slowing on the approach to traffic when the third party merged into our client’s lane, colliding with our client’s bicycle and causing her to fall.
How we helped our client
We intimated the claim to the third-party insurers. They responded and confirmed that liability was admitted.
Settlement
Our client suffered soft tissue injuries to her left shoulder, left arm and left knee. The injury to her shoulder exacerbated a previous injury. With chiropractor treatment her injuries resolved after six months.
Our client had additional losses due to her private treatment, along with damaged items that required repair or replacement. This included her bicycle, helmet and repairs to her Rolex watch, which we were able to recover as part of her claim.
We instructed a medical report to determine the extent of her injuries and prognosis for the future. Fortunately, our client achieved a swift recovery with treatment and received an award of £7,150.
