Nathan was a student when he was involved in a serious road traffic accident when he was knocked off
his bicycle by a car. He suffered a spinal
cord injury which has left him partially paralysed and with a
serious brain injury.
Throughout, liability was denied by the Insurers of the
Defendant vehicle. The Defendant argued that Nathan had pulled out
directly in front of his car. We argued on behalf of Nathan that
the car had been travelling at speed.
To clarify issues, an Accident Reconstruction Expert was used to
prepare a useful report. The Defendant sought advice from their own
Accident Reconstruction Expert.
The Trial on liability was due to take place. Instead, at a
round table meeting, a compromised settlement was achieved in
respect of liability only. A large interim payment was obtained for
Nathan and we ultimately recovered a seven figure sum for Nathan
which will help him to rebuild his life.
