Mark Bowman, cycle accident
specialist, has won a substantial sum of compensation for Mr White
following a road traffic collision that
took place on 6 February 2007.
Mr White had been cycling to work and entered a roundabout with
the intention of turning right. As he entered the roundabout, a
bus, which was approaching the roundabout from his left hand side,
failed to note Mr White's presence and collided with him.
Mr White was thrown from his bicycle and suffered a major injury
to his right, dominant wrist, whereby his radius was completely
shattered and his scaphoid and ulna styloid bones fractured. He
required surgery to his wrist following the accident together with
an extensive course of physiotherapy.
The defendants admitted liability for the collision but
questioned the nature and impact of the injuries sustained by Mr
White.
The injuries were, in fact, significant to Mr White due to the
fact that he worked as an actor/musician and therefore required
full use of his right wrist to play the various instruments that he
specialised in.
Following extensive negotiations with the Defendants, Mr White
accepted the sum of £56,250 in settlement of his
claim for compensation. Mark Bowman acted under the terms of a
No Win, No Fee agreement and Mr White
recovered his damages in full.
Mark Bowman comments:
| "I am pleased to have been able to
achieve such a good outcome in this claim. Mr White's injury was
significant and the impact potentially significant given his unique
career. The settlement will provide Mr White with the means to
ensure that he is able to pay for any further treatment that may be
required and will help to compensate him for the expenses and pain
and suffering that he has endured." |
Mr White said:
"My accident has had a significant impact on my life and work.
Throughout this traumatic experience it was a great comfort to know
that I had such competent, effective and hard working support from
Mark Bowman and his team.
"I was guided through what became a complex legal process and
received comprehensive and insightful advice throughout. The final
award was substantial and I am very grateful to Mark for his
excellent work."
