\"\"The Northern Echo<\/a><\/em> has reported that a motorist is being pursued for \u00a3300,000 in compensation by a motorcyclist for an accident occurring back in June 2008.\u00a0 Robert McPherson of Pudsey, West Yorkshire, has asserted that Michael Kitching of Northallerton pulled out of a junction, knocking him off his motorbike and causing several injuries; notably a fractured hip<\/strong>, arm<\/strong>, shoulder<\/strong>, ribs<\/strong>, an injury to his pelvis<\/strong>, and causing a pulmonary embolism<\/strong>.\u00a0 At the High Court in Leeds it has been contended that the accident was \u2018caused by the negligent driving<\/strong>\u2019 of Mr Kitching.\u00a0 Indeed, Mr Kitching has admitted liability for the accident.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that it is not purely his injuries that Mr McPherson is trying to claim for – he is also attempting to claim a significant loss of earnings.\u00a0 As the Northern Echo reports, the court papers note that \u2018At the time of the index accident, the claimant was a self-employed electrician fulfilling a handsome role as a director of his own business.\u00a0 Following the accident, and because of the injuries sustained, the claimant is now less able to complete the duties required within his business and as such is disadvantaged when compared to others undertaking work of a similar nature to the claimant who has not suffered such injury<\/em>.\u2019\u00a0 In essence, Mr McPherson will not be able to carry out the job role he did previously because of the injuries sustained in the accident with Mr Kitching – he has therefore suffered a significant loss of earnings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This accident demonstrates two things.\u00a0 Firstly<\/strong>, if you have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a> that is not your fault and have sustained an injury as a result, it is likely that you will be entitled to compensation.\u00a0 You should therefore instruct a quality injury lawyer, like those at The Injury Lawyers<\/a>, to fight tooth and nail for the maximum compensation you deserve.\u00a0 And secondly<\/strong>, when making a claim for compensation<\/a>, it is not purely your injuries that you may be entitled to compensation for.\u00a0 If you have other losses which stem from your accident, a professional injury lawyer can make a claim for those on your behalf.\u00a0 This is another reason why you should get an experienced injury lawyer like those at The Injury Lawyers<\/strong> on your side.\u00a0 They know what the heads of losses you can obtain compensation for, and know how to go about doing this the right way.
\n<\/p>\n

If you have sustained injuries through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 If as a result of your accident you have had to take time off work then you may be able to obtain compensation for any loss of earnings<\/strong>.\u00a0 Further, if as a result of your accident you can no longer undertake the job you were doing, a claim for compensation can be made for disadvantage on the open labour market.\u00a0 Similarly, if you have incurred travel costs going to and from your medical appointments, these costs can be reclaimed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you believe you have a claim and want a professional and quality injury lawyer on your side who can explain every stage of your potential claim to you, and who will ensure that you are regularly updated, not charged a penny, and also get the maximum compensation you deserve, why not give The Injury Lawyers<\/a> a quick call for some free legal advice today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
