The Incident

A routine journey became life-changing for our client, a skilled TIG welder in his early 30s, when a truck driver merged into his lane without warning and struck his motorbike on a dual carriageway.

Our client sustained multiple serious injuries, including:

• Spinal fracture
• Multiple fractures to wrists, thumb, finger, femur, pelvis, ribs, and shoulder
• Chronic post-traumatic pain
• Psychological trauma

Once a very active individual, he faced months recovery and required surgery, with further operations, including a hip replacement, still expected. Despite returning to work and working through his ongoing pain, his injuries mean he is unlikely to continue in his profession long-term, forcing him to face the reality of reduced earning capacity.

The Case

Liability was admitted in full by the defendant driver. Our role was to ensure the settlement reflected the true long-term impact of his injuries, including his ability to work, his pain and suffering, and the psychological trauma resulting from the serious road traffic accident.

The Settlement

Through the expertise of Victoria Martin and Dale Bickerstaffe, we secured a £450,000 settlement. This award acknowledges:

• The extent of his physical injuries and need for ongoing treatment
• His chronic pain and psychological trauma
• The effect on his professional life, including reduced earning potential and early retirement
• The wider, lasting consequences of the accident
