Had a serious cycling accident? You could be entitled to compensation. Yorkshire lawyer explains

Bridge McFarland LLP secured a damages settlement of £100,000 for a client who was involved in a terrifying road traffic accident when a combine harvester collided with him whilst he was out cycling.

From Iron Man competitor to life-changing injuries

The man, who was exceptionally fit before his accident, was cycling to train for an Ironman competition at the time that the collision occurred.

He sustained a badly fractured knee, which needed surgery. He was left with a large scar from this and is at risk of developing arthritis in his knee in the future.

Several of the fitness activities which he took part in before his accident were curtailed and as well as the physical injuries, he was affected psychologically too. He had to changed jobs, sustained a loss of earnings, and is now in a less physically demanding role.

James Burrell, Partner and Solicitor who dealt with the client’s case, said: “This was a frightening incident, and our client continues to suffer with serious physical and psychological injuries. One of the biggest difficulties for our client has been accepting that he will never be able to return to his former peak physical condition. We are pleased to have brought this case to a successful conclusion and hope this settlement provides our client with some financial security and allows him and his family to move forwards.”
