£55,000 settlement for motorcyclist following collision with an uninsured motorist

25 August 2009

Mr S suffered serious fractures to his leg and knee and serious psychological symptoms when a car drove across his path causing a collision.

What we did

Shoosmiths successfully applied to the Motorists Insurers Bureau (MIB) for the case to be dealt with under the Uninsured Drivers Agreement.

We also obtained compensation for the injuries Mr S sustained together with his financial losses including the future surgery costs and the private cost of psychological treatment

Background

Mr S was riding his motorcycle when a car that was driving in the opposite direction to our client, suddenly turned across Mr S’s path causing a collision.

Shoosmiths obtained an early interim payment reimbursing our client for the damage to his motorcycle.  In the final settlement sum, we secured the private costs of future surgery that our client would require.
