£9,900 Damages for Cyclist Hit by Car on Roundabout

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.

Alison went above and beyond to help me with a very difficult and complicated dispute. This is the second time she has helped me, and I am grateful for her help. She was very understanding and cared about my situation. I now have my children full time, and my life can move forward.

I called CWJ as I needed documents Apostilled urgently. I received a callback straight away, and Alis explained the process in detail, and a summary was emailed to me. I attended their offices and received a friendly welcome, and the whole process was dealt with quickly and professionally. Thank you, Alis.

CWJ were excellent in helping me navigate through an employment settlement agreement. Everything was smooth from the start, from the ease of getting in touch with the team to organising the phone consultation, to regular check-ins throughout the process. They ensured I felt informed and taken care of.

A huge thank you to Carly, Heidi, and their team for all the help and guidance over the last few months in the sale of our late Mother’s property. They were friendly, professional, and incredibly prompt. We had numerous questions, all of which were answered clearly and immediately. The support they provided made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend CWJ.

I have used CWJ on two occasions now, an exceptional solicitor in every sense. They were approachable, patient, and took the time to explain things in plain English. I felt supported and reassured throughout the entire process, and their expertise was evident at every stage. Thanks to their dedication and hard work, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing reliable and trustworthy legal advice.

CWJ helped us move home, acting on both our sale and onward purchase. We found them to be responsive and very knowledgeable, providing a professional and well managed service from start to finish. Thank you!

Sandy was friendly and professional from our first meeting. He was always honest, fair and transparent with his advice. Always had my best interests in mind, especially when it came to my costs. Very prompt in his responses to emails and phone calls. Even when he was away from the office, he made sure I had a contact there to help me if needed. Would highly recommend Sandy.
