Claimant male lorry driver, aged 44 years. The Claimant was a rider of a motorbike with pillion passenger. At a set of temporary traffic lights the Claimant overtook a line of traffic when the Defendant pulled through the line of traffic from a side road with the intention of turning right.

The Claimant and his passenger were thrown from the motorbike and were badly injured. The Defendant's Insurers sought to deny liability and offered to settle on a 20/80 basis in favour of the car driver, relying on the pro Defendant case of Powell -v- Moody. A Barrister felt this offer should seriously be considered.

We managed to secure an offer of 50/50 on liability, 30% more than the Claimant would have received if the Defendant's offer had been accepted. An offer was accepted for £60,000 for injuries, loss of earnings and nursing care. The Claimant received £30,000 net of the agreed split liability.

The Claimant motorcyclist was overtaking the Defendant's motor car when the Defendant's motor car pulled out to overtake a vehicle in front of it.

The Claimant motorcyclist sustained catastrophic injuries, including a leg amputation and numerous fractures. The Police commenced a prosecution against the Claimant motorcyclist for the offence of driving without due care and attention. These criminal proceedings were later withdrawn, following representations by ourselves.

The matter proceeded on a "No Win, No Fee" basis. Liability was fully disputed to trial. The matter settled at the doors of the Court at 75/25 in the Claimant motorcyclist's favour. The issue of the value of the claim also proceeded on a fully contested basis and a court date was set for the assessment of damages.

Just before the hearing compensation was agreed at over £300,000.
