A motorcycle accident which left a husband and wife with serious injuries has resulted in the payout of £500,000 in personal injury compensation. The couple achieved this outcome with the assistance of a firm of no win, no fee solicitors.
The injured woman explains the circumstances of the road accident which led to them engaging the services of a no win, no fee solicitor, saying, "We were riding down the B5151 Mount road in Birkenhead, Wirral when a car pulled out of a hotel car park. As the other car hadn't picked up speed and we were driving at 30 miles an hour, [my husband] decided to overtake, but as he pulled back in front of the car we hit an unlit skip."
"We were sitting on the bike with our knees bent out in front of us so it was our knees that got most of the impact. I crushed my tibia and fibula in my left leg – in fact my tibia lost four and a half inches when the hospital cleaned my leg out. In addition, when I came off the bike I broke my collar bone and fractured my shoulder joint."
With the assistance of the no win, no fee solicitor firm, the couple succeeded in getting the company owning the unlit skip to admit liability for the personal injury compensation claim.
Commenting on the quality of legal representation she and her husband received, the woman said, "I couldn't have asked for a better team or a more efficient service."
*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.
