Upon impact with the car he fell down to the left with the motorcycle on his left leg, and his body twisted. His left knee remained swollen and painful and he was diagnosed as having sustained a medical collateral ligament injury as well as instability of the knee. As the injuries were deemed severe by the court, the motorcyclist was awarded £37,500 for personal injury.
Case Study 2
Finnis v Caulfield (t/a James Car Hire) [2002]
In this motorbike accident a motorcyclist was severely injured and was unable to continue with his employment. He was aged 29 and was a highly skilled flooring craftsman. He sustained multiple life threatening injuries, which include brain damage, partial loss of sight and visual clarity in the right eye. He also sustained a fractured skull, numerous facial fractures, fractured pelvic bone and femur, burst left eardrum and multiple scars and abrasions.
The result of the brain damage was that his memory and concentration were very poor and he often became irritable and aggressive if not controlled by medication prescribed. Obviously he could no longer continue with his employment.
The injured motorcyclist was awarded £95,000 for his personal injuries. His total award was £1,487,562.33 this included his loss of earnings and interest.

[2008] All ER (D) 08 (Feb)Leesmith v Evans, [2008] EWHC 134 (QB)
A motorcyclist aged 24, was seriously injured in a motorbike accident as a result of a collision with a car. The car driver drove his car out from a turning on the motorcyclist’s left hand side with a view to turning right into the road on which the motorcyclist was travelling on. The motorcyclist suffered injuries to his left leg which led to an amputation of the left knee. There was also a fracture to a finger on his right hand, which resulted in permanent damage, which affected his ability to grip and carry items.
The motorcyclist concerned was embarking on a career in lighting design for the rock industry which would have earned him a substantial amount but due to the accident he could not pursue this line of work.
He was awarded £1.15m for his personal injuries and various other losses plus £603,424.53 for loss of earnings.
