The Injury Lawyers win £30K settlement for pothole motorbike victim

Sometimes you can ride over a pothole and escape with minor cuts and bruises – and other times you can be very badly injured.

Our Serious Injury Claims Team are used to representing victims for serious and catastrophic injury claims all the time. Our client in this instance approached us after sustaining a shoulder injury which turned out to cause a lot of problems for quite a long time.

Whilst other injuries were noted, it was primarily the shoulder injury and the long lasting physical and emotional effects this had on our client in this case that meant we had to be dedicated to making sure he received a high payout. We were successful in persuading the local authority to accept liability for their genuine failings and we obtained a great deal of medical evidence to support our client’s claim.

The shoulder had been fractured which resulted in several years of pain and suffering during the acute phase. As you can probably imagine, the use of a person’s shoulder is continuous and numerously involved in everyday activities. When pain lasts for a long time like it did for our client here, the effects are immense – and they disrupt everything on a work basis, socially, domestically, etc.

That is why we always endeavour to instruct the very best medical experts who can produce the finest medical-legal reports that we use to prove why our clients are entitled to better payouts. Insurers and solicitors who work for the defendants will always try and reduce payouts, and our job is to make sure that a client receives the absolute best we can get them based on what the law says they are entitled to receive.

We must take in to account the effect the injury also has on the person’s emotions as well. Being involved in an accident alone can be a very traumatic experience, and living with a long term or permanent injury can have a huge effect on a person’s life. Trust me – at The Injury Lawyers we help people with these claims all the time and we know the impact it has on a person and their family. This also needs to be recognised when valuing the claim.

When taking in to account the long term need for treatment and the huge effect the injury has on our clients life, we are not prepared to accept anything less than what our client is genuinely entitled to receive for what they have had to go through and what they will be left with. Based on all of the evidence obtained, our client was happy to accept the payout of £30,000 as a fair reflection for his suffering.

High value cases can of course reach in to the millions and our Serious Injury Claims Team are here to help. For expert advice and legal representation, call 0800 634 7575 today.
