At Farleys Solicitors, we are committed to securing justice and fair compensation for those injured through no fault of their own. One recent case highlights the importance of legal support following a road traffic accident involving a vulnerable road user.

Our client, Mr M, was riding his bike in Rossendale, Lancashire when a vehicle suddenly pulled out into his path. Mr M riding down a steep hill and going quite quickly, but well within the speed limit. So, he was unable to stop and the emerging vehicle collided with him. The impact threw him from his bicycle, causing him to fall heavily onto the road.

As a result of the collision, Mr M sustained multiple injuries. He suffered cuts and lacerations to his forehead, soft tissue injuries to his right ankle and right shoulder, and a fractured left wrist.

These injuries not only caused him significant pain and discomfort but also disrupted his daily life and ability to work as a heavy goods vehicle driver.

Following the incident, Mr M approached Farleys Solicitors for legal advice and representation.

One of our experienced personal injury team Paul Mulderrig quickly got to work, gathering evidence, liaising with medical professionals, and negotiating with the at-fault driver’s insurance company.

The insurers for the careless driver accepted responsibility for the accident and, once we had the necessary evidence we were able to secure a settlement without the need for court proceedings.

Mr M received a compensation award of over £12,000. This sum reflected the pain and suffering he endured, as well as the impact on his quality of life and any financial losses incurred as a result of the accident.
