Nigel Spencer Ley obtains substantial damages for motorcyclist who suffered major orthopaedic injuries

Nigel Spencer Ley obtains substantial damages for motorcyclist who suffered major orthopaedic injuries.

Motorcycles were the Claimant’s passion. By day he was a motorcycle instructor and in his spare time, he was either riding or rebuilding bikes. In October 2010, he suffered major orthopaedic injuries when a negligent car driver pulled out in front of him. He underwent 25 operations to his arms and legs. He was left with constant pain and with a discrepancy of 10cm between the length of his legs. Despite all of this he returned to riding motorcycles. He had purchased a bike with a sidecar for the times when he was simply unable to ride a normal motorcycle.

At a JSM in February 2015 his claim was settled for damages in excess of £500,000.

Nigel is part of the Personal Injury team.
