Cyclist Hit by Van Driver Claims Compensation

Cyclist Injured in Van Collision Receives Settlement

Phoebe Walliss, a solicitor at Osbornes Law, recently secured a settlement for a cyclist injured in a collision with a van.

Incident details

The accident occurred when the van, attempting a U-turn due to a road closure, collided with a cyclist who was overtaking it. This resulted in the cyclist being knocked off his bicycle and sustaining fractures to both elbows, one of which required surgical fixation.

Impact of the accident on our client

The accident significantly affected the client’s life. He was unable to work for approximately six weeks and faced challenges in preparing for his planned relocation back to the United States, scheduled just over three weeks after the incident. Fortunately, his sister was able to travel to the UK to assist him during this difficult period.

Medical assessment

Understanding the urgency of the situation, Phoebe promptly arranged for an initial medical assessment in the UK within a week, aiming to prevent the need for her client to return to the UK later.

Settlement negotiation

Following an early admission of liability, Phoebe diligently gathered the necessary evidence to substantiate her client’s financial losses and successfully negotiated a settlement.
