Levenes Solicitors represented Mr RS in a claim against a Sainsbury’s van driver for compensation for the injuries and losses suffered as a result of a road traffic accident.
Mr RS was cycling correctly along the road when he was struck by a van. The van driver had not seen our client and drove in to the path of our client. A claim was made against Sainsbury’s insurers who at first stated that their client was stationary at the time of the accident. Luckily for Mr RS, video recorded by a camera mounted on his helmet showed that the van suddenly swerved to the left and struck Mr RS knocking him to the floor. When the insurers saw the footage they admitted liability.
The video camera proved the van driver’s negligence and without this vital evidence this could have been a case of the word of the cyclist against that of the van driver.
Mr RS has received £3,859.40 in compensation for his injuries, damage to his bike and losses associated with it.
The client was represented by paralegal, Dagmara Sztynyk and Partner, Tim Beasley.
