Our client, KW was involved in a serious motorbike collision when a car went into him, causing him to be thrown from his motorcycle. The impact of the petrol tank on his groin left him shaken and dazed. He sustained multiple soft tissue injuries affecting his neck, back, shoulders, arms, knees and hip, and experienced widespread pain thereafter.
This case was particularly complex and risky due to KW’s pre-accident medical history. He had been involved in prior accidents in 2009 and 2010, though he had made a good recovery.
KW’s injuries had a significant effect on his daily life. Despite undergoing physiotherapy, he continued to experience persistent, widespread pain that affected his sleep. Over time, KW developed a chronic pain syndrome, which exacerbated his regional pain and further limited his ability to carry out everyday activities. Eventually, the severity of his symptoms meant he had to stop working.
Brian Barr Solicitors took a meticulous approach to KW’s claim, carefully navigating the challenges posed by his pre-existing conditions. Our team coordinated medical assessments, physiotherapy reports, and detailed evidence to clearly demonstrate the impact of the accident on KW’s life. Following thorough negotiations, KW’s claim was successfully settled for £85,000. This result recognised both the physical and long-term lifestyle impacts of the injuries sustained.
This case highlights the importance of expert guidance in complex personal injury claims, particularly where pre-existing conditions are involved.
