Our client sustained serious personal injuries as a result of road traffic accident when a passenger on a poorly maintained motorcycle. Whilst riding near Lincoln, the motorcycle suffered a rear tyre “blow out” and the rider lost control of the machine causing the crash. Our client was thrown to the ground and suffered fractures, the left shoulder, collar bone and ribs. She also suffered ligament damage to the right knee and was left with visible scarring. Following an inspection of the motorcycle, the rider’s insurers accepted liability and a exceeding £5000 was negotiated without the need for Court proceedings.
