Cyclist recovers almost £200,000 in compensation after serious accident

Susan*, a keen cyclist suffered serious life changing injuries when a driver of a car failed to see her and cut across her path, causing Susan to be thrown from her bicycle onto the road.

Susan suffered multiple fractures to both knees, requiring surgery, followed by a long period of rehabilitation.

After the accident, Susan contacted Helen Beaumont, Specialist Personal Injury Solicitor of Truth Legal.  Helen arranged private rehabilitation treatment, funded by the driver’s insurer to assist with Susan’s recovery, which meant that she was able to return to some level of cycling within months of the accident.

Helen secured an admission of liability from the insurer of the car driver responsible for the accident, and gathered evidence, including medical opinion in support of the injuries suffered and evidence in support of financial losses.

With Helen’s help, Susan was able to receive compensation for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused by her injuries.  In addition, she received compensation for expenses incurred, including adaptations required to the home following discharge from hospital due to reduced mobility, and also anticipated costs for further treatment in the future, together with associated losses.

Thanks to the efforts of Helen and the personal injury team at Truth Legal, Susan received almost £200,000 in compensation.

If you have suffered a cycling accident and you think that someone was at fault, Truth Legal may be able to help you to claim compensation.
