£60,000 settlement for motorcyclist injured by pedestrian

One of the distinctive features of this case is the fact that the pedestrian who caused the accident was insured. This element played a pivotal role in the successful resolution of our Hungarian client’s claim.

In most cases, where a pedestrian is responsible for causing an accident, they will not be insured which means that pursuing a claim for compensation can be exceedingly challenging. Without an insurance in place, an average person does not have the money to settle a claim and the injured party often ends up shouldering a significant financial burden.

Avenues for Compensation

In this case, it was possible to pursue a claim because the pedestrian was insured. The insurance policy of the pedestrian provided a source of financial coverage to address our client’s medical expenses, loss of earnings, and potential future financial losses stemming from his injuries. This enabled our client to receive a substantial settlement.

The insurance coverage ultimately played a pivotal role in securing a successful outcome for our client. While insurance companies may initially attempt to deflect liability, having a skilled legal team like Levenes Solicitors on his side allowed our client to overcome these challenges and receive the compensation he deserved.

Accident Description

Our client was riding his motorcycle along his regular route to work, maintaining a speed of approximately 23mph. The incident occurred at a junction near his workplace. Our client had the right of way, having passed through a green light at the intersection. It was at this point that a pedestrian, rushing into the road from the right side, collided with our client’s motorcycle. The impact was forceful, leading to our client losing control of the motorcycle and colliding with a wooden post.

The accident had serious consequences for our client. He suffered several fractured ribs as a result of the collision. Additionally, his right knee was injured in the incident. The injuries caused immense pain and discomfort and his wife played a crucial role in providing the necessary support and care during his recovery.

Recognising the severe impact of the accident on our client’s life, Levenes Solicitors took swift action. We filed a compensation claim against the pedestrian’s insurance provider, who initially attempted to shift liability onto our client.

Levenes Solicitors diligently gathered evidence, including medical reports, witness statements, and an accident scene analysis. Negotiations with the insurance company’s legal representatives were persistent and skilfully pursued. Ultimately, Levenes secured a substantial settlement of £60,000 for our client.

The Claimant was represented by Ricky Baba, Partner, and Maria Kosztyu, our Hungarian lawyer.
