The 55-year-old was forced off his bike as a car pulled out of a junction across his path in June 2008.
The man sustained serious injuries including fractures to his hip, arm, shoulder and ribs. He also suffered a severe pelvic injury as well as a pulmonary embolism.
The court in Leeds received documents stating that the self-employed man has struggled to carry out normal duties due to the injuries sustained, which is impacting his business as an electrician.
The papers also stated that the driver of the car has admitted liability for the incident due to negligent driving.
*A replacement vehicle can usually be supplied within 4-6 working hours, where there is an admission of liability from the other person’s insurance company. If this person is not known, their insurance details are not known, they are uninsured or there is a potential dispute over who caused the accident, a replacement vehicle cannot be provided.
