Substantial compensation has been secured for a motorcyclist whose leg had to be amputated following a road traffic accident.
He was riding his motorbike when a car travelling in the opposite direction swerved into his lane, causing a collision. He suffered orthopaedic and psychological injuries, and his right leg had to be amputated above the knee.
