Our client was proceeding in the outside lane of three in a busy London road when a car to his left performed a completely unexpected and ridiculous U-turn right in front of him. He had no way of avoiding a collision with the rear quarter panel of the car and was thrown from his bike. Fortunately his injuries have turned out to be reasonably short lasting having resolved within two years, however at the time it was suspected he had fractured his...

Claims for joggers injured on defects in the highway are always difficult and are often hard fought by the responsible highway authority. This case was just like that. The jogger in question was on a familiar route and was caught out by a flagstone that had raised by one and a half inches. We obtained expert evidence of his minor but troubling injuries being a deep cut to his knee and lip together with professional photographs showing some...

Our 72 year old local client had a very nasty fall in a shoe shop. The shop was badly understaffed at a particularly busy time and the whole area was described as a “bombsite”. Our client who normally goes shopping with her daughter went alone and fell over discarded shoe boxes whilst in the crowded store. Due to her age she sustained multiple injuries including ripping out a nail, and soft tissue injuries to many parts of her...

Remarkably, despite being hit by such a large vehicle, he sustained very few if indeed any physical effects and the case revolved around finding out if he had sustained any brain damage as he was rendered unconcious. Expert reports were commissioned and revealed that he...

We are celebratring a stunning success of acting for a rider who suffered serious injuries when thrown from a motorcycle. The injuries will give lifelong problems but working life will not be particularly affected. The main thrust of the case however was the involvement of the Motor Insurer’s Bureau and how they tried to defeat the claim at all times. The Motor Insurer’s Bureau (MIB) is an organisation that is funded by all the motor...

A motorcylist who was side swiped by a Nissan Micra received a great settlement following his claim for his knee injury and associated losses. The client, riding a vintage bike, was involved in a classic “sorry mate didn’t see you” collision. A car driver literally looked but didn’t see and emerged when the bike was level with the front of her car and directly into contact with our client’s knee, causing substantial
