A 63-year-old motorcyclist recently received £55,000 in compensation after suffering serious injuries in an accident caused by another driver’s failure to yield at a traffic light-controlled junction. The driver turned right into our client’s path, resulting in a severe crash.
Soft Tissue Damage and Complex Fracture to Wrist
Our client sustained a complex fracture to his right wrist, along with soft tissue damage. Complications, including delayed healing and malunion, impacted his grip strength and ability to perform everyday tasks such as writing and typing. Although he continued working, he struggled with ongoing discomfort when using a keyboard.
Liability was admitted early in the case, allowing us to secure multiple interim payments to fund his treatment. While surgery was initially considered, evolving medical advice led to alternative treatment options. His recovery was further delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and errors in radiology reports, which required intervention from a private specialist.
The defendant disputed aspects of the claim, arguing our client had not done enough to minimise his losses, but we strongly defended his right to full compensation. Before trial, we successfully negotiated a £55,000 settlement, covering medical expenses and future financial losses due to his lasting impairment.
