Motorcyclist seriously injured in Isle of Man
Case summary
When you go on holiday to the Isle of Man to watch the TT the last thing you expect is to be carted off to Nobles Hospital by Air Ambulance because someone else doesn’t know what they are doing.
That’s exactly what happened to our client. He contacted Sorrymate and Fergus took on the case.
Interesting (at least lawyers might find it interesting) is the fact that the Isle of man has a separate legal system so the first hurdle was making sure we could look after him.
Once that was sorted, months of rehabilitation, all paid for by the insurance company of the other party, commenced and ultimately we managed to recover a gross settlement of £155,000.00.
He is now back on a bike and has also returned to the Isle of Man on more than one occasion.

Motorcyclist badly injured in accident
Case summary
We recently settled a claim on behalf of a motorcyclist badly injured in an accident.
She was riding along a country lane without a care in the world. She was passing the entrance to a private school when a car driver (in the middle of an argument with his passenger) pulled out of the driveway straight into her.
She broke both wrists, and had other minor injuries. Breaking both wrists has a serious impact on the ability to do anything, and she was reliant on friends and family for a while. She was unable to work, and as a self employed photographer who had just begun to pick up work post-pandemic, this was a real blow.
Added to all that stress, the driver of the car refused initially to accept that the accident was his fault! We refused to take “no” for an answer, though, and eventually managed to get a full settlement for the injuries, loss of earnings and other expenses.
Most importantly, the client is back on a ‘bike and enjoying her riding again.
