Our client was standing on a pavement when a car reversed into him, knocking him to the ground.  He lost consciousness and sustained multiple injuries to his head, back, hands, wrists and knees, which medical experts felt would largely settle within 12 to 16 months after the accident with appropriate treatment.  He also suffered psychological trauma, and needed to take time off work.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of £12,000.

A brief summary of events is set out below.

Our client was employed to drive a car transporter.  After securing a car he was descending from the transporter when he placed his foot where there should have been a ladder.  The area did not have a non-slip surface and he slipped causing him to fall several feet to the ground.  He sustained soft tissue injuries to his shin and twisted his ankle and knee.  The injuries caused him to be off work for 9 weeks, but he made a full recovery after about 7 months.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just under £4,000.

Our client was cycling along a road, and was positioned near the centre of the road about to turn right when a vehicle tried to overtake him and knocked him off his bike.  He sustained cuts and bruises to his knee and elbow, and also suffered from back pain.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just over £3,100.
