A compensation settlement has been negotiated for a cyclist who was hit by a car while out with a cycling group.
He was leading the group across a double roundabout when the accident happened. A car failed to give way at the second roundabout and collided with him, knocking him from his bicycle.
He suffered pain and difficulty moving after the accident, and an X-ray revealed that he had broken three ribs. He had to take time off work, and his injuries had an impact on his ability to lead his life for months after the accident.
After he sought legal advice and commenced a personal injury claim, a settlement of £9,900 was eventually agreed. As well as compensating him for his pain and suffering and loss of earnings, the settlement includes amounts for the damage to his bicycle and a trip abroad he had to cancel.
