REAL EXPERIENCES

Stuart’s story

It makes me so happy that I can go out, especially with Carrie and just ride around and feel completely normal again. And that's huge.

Type of injury: Motorbike Collision SERIOUS INJURY

The incident

While riding his motorcycle near his home in Gloucestershire, another driver collided with Stuart, striking the side of his leg and throwing him from his bike. The collision left Stuart with severe injuries to his leg and began a recovery journey that would take years rather than months. The physical injuries were significant, but for Stuart, some of the greatest challenges were emotional and mental.

I felt like Fletcher's had my best interests at heart. I definitely felt that it was all about me and my case. That was really important.

The Settlement

Before the collision, martial arts had been a major part of Stuart’s life. However, his injuries meant he could no longer participate in the way he once had.

  • Stuart and his bike
    Determined to find an alternative, he turned to mountain biking.
  • Stuart cycling down the road
    Purchasing an electric mountain bike proved to be a turning point.
  • Stuart off-road biking
    For the first time since the collision, he was able to enjoy the outdoors without constantly worrying about physical limitations.
