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 Nathan's behalf 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.
