A 55-year-old man has been seriously injured in a car accident in West Yorkshire.
The man had been riding a motorcycle when a car pulled out of a junction and collided with him in June 2008. The accident left him with various fractures as well as pelvic injury and a pulmonary embolism.
The motorcyclist, who works as a self-employed electrician, has launched a car accidentcompensation claim against the driver.
Papers issued to the High Court in Leeds have stated that the accident was caused by the negligence of the driver in the car.
It was also claimed that the extent of the injuries sustained by the claimant mean he cannot carry out the same duties as before which has affected his business.
The court papers also show that the car driver has admitted liability for the incident.
*Where replacement vehicle costs can be recovered from the insurance company of the person who caused the accident.
Where this person is untraceable or uninsured, or where there is a dispute over liability, a replacement vehicle cannot
be provided.
