CYCLE ACCIDENTS UNUSUAL CLAIMS AND DIFFICULT COMPENSATION REQUESTSCycle accidents unusual claims and difficult compensation requests and strange cycle accident reports we often receive Here’s an example of some of the stranger cycle accident claims that we receive. I bet you don’t get many cycle accident claims like the one I had and I hope you can get me suitable compensation for my injuries. I would be grateful if one of your specialist injury lawyers would be kind enough to look into what I believe may be a difficult compensation claim. I was riding my cycle with my boyfriend along Brighton seafront last Friday night when my cycle accident happened. My boyfriends’ bike was about ten yards ahead of me when a group of Nuns suddenly jumped out in front of me, surrounded my bike and started jeering and jostling me. My boyfriend, unaware that anything was wrong had continued cycling along the road and was soon out of sight as he had cycled down to the promenade where we were to rendez-vous with some friends. The Nuns turned out to be a stag party, not malicious but very high spirited and they lifted me and my cycle into the air and started running with me in the opposite direction to where my boyfriend would be waiting. There was a lot of shouting and laughing and eventually one of them stopped to listen to my pleas to turn around and go down to the lower promenade. This they duly did but refusing to put me down, started running along the seafront and heading for the steps that lead down to the lower esplanade. And that is when my cycle accident happened. CYCLE ACCIDENTSAs cycle accidents happen, mine has to make good reading and certainly caused some laughs amongst the medical staff at the hospital where we were treated. One of the young men dressed as a Nun who was at the front of the group holding me and my cycle aloft caught his foot in his habit as he took the first step. In order to regain his balance, he let go of the front of my bike and grabbed the chap next to him, pulling him head first down the stairs. After that, it all became a blur as I, my cycle and another six or seven other Nuns all fell head over heels down the stairs and ended in a heap at the bottom. The old saying about God protecting fools, children and drunks proved accurate as I was the only one who ended up with any injuries in the accident. All the members of the stag party were able to walk away but I ended up with a broken ankle and cracked cheek bone. Is this the sort of cycle accidents you can handle or does it fall out of your area of expertise? I have plenty of witnesses and police statements by the way. |
