£60,000 for passenger in motorcycle accident claim

Ms Clark was a passenger on a motorcycle. As the driver of the motorcycle approached a passing cyclist the driver pulled wide to leave the cyclist plenty of room. Unfortunately, at the same time, the driver of an Aston Martin travelling in the same direction had decided to overtake both the motorcycle and the cyclist. This resulted in a serious collision causing Ms Clark to be thrown from the motorcycle some distance and sustaining multiple broken bones.

Ms Clark’s orthopaedic leg injuries were extensive and required prolonged use of a bone stimulating device as the fractures to her fibula and tibia took a long time to heal.

Blackwater Law personal injury solicitors acted for Ms Clark, advising and representing her in making her motorcycle accident claim. To support Ms Clark, Blackwater Law obtained multiple orthopaedic, plastic surgery and psychiatric consultants in addition to organising physiotherapy and cognitive behaviour therapies.

Following the motorcycle accident, Ms Clark lost her job as a nurse in a care home for elderly dementia patients, since she was no longer able to stand on her feet all day. It was therefore important that past and future loss of earnings were included in the compensation claim alongside financial provision for care. Blackwater Law personal injury solicitors are highly experienced in ensuring motorcycle accidents and other personal injury claims include provision for the client’s long-term needs and loss of earnings so that clients are supported financially now and in the future.

Ms Clark’s case was operated by Blackwater Law on a no-win, no-fee basis. When Ms Clark first contacted Blackwater Law she was provided with free initial legal advice, following which Ms Clark’s personal injury solicitor at Blackwater Law undertake initial investigations to assess whether a motorcycle accident claim was possible.
