£22,500 settlement for motorcycle injury

A motorcyclist who suffered serious injuries when a car performed a U-turn on a busy main road, crashing into him, has received a £22,500 settlement from the driver’s insurers to cover his pain, suffering and the loss of earnings he suffered during his recovery. His injuries included fractures to his wrist and cuts, bruises and soft tissue damage to his neck, spine and groin. He was unable to face riding a motorcycle or even travelling as a passenger for months afterwards. He also spent eight weeks off work recovering from his injuries.
