bicycle accident affects work capability - case study

Our client was cycling home from work in broad daylight. At one point he wanted to cross the road, stopped at a pedestrian crossing and waited for the traffic lights to turn red when it was safe to cross. As he was crossing, he was knocked off his bicycle by a car which failed to stop at the traffic lights. Our client suffered a head injury from hitting his head on the windscreen, a laceration to his neck, abrasions to his left shoulder and chest as well as a pain in his neck.

As a result of these injuries, our client was off work for seven months and was not able to return to his previous job which involved heavy lifting.

outcome: Our client settled out of court for £30,000.
