In November 2022, our client was struck by a motor vehicle while cycling.

The collision left her with significant injuries to her right hip, lower back, and neck, along with psychological trauma.

A dedicated professional and keen triathlete, her life was suddenly and profoundly altered.

The Impact of the Accident

Before the accident, our client was very active, taking part in marathons and triathlons.

She cycled long distances, participated in endurance events, and maintained an active lifestyle.

The accident not only caused serious physical harm but also stripped away her confidence and sense of safety on the road.

She was left with ongoing hip and back pain, reduced mobility, and an inability to return to cycling or running.

Beyond the physical injuries, she also developed anxiety and fear of being on the road, even as a driver.

Despite the severity of her injuries, our client made an stoic attempt to get back to normality after the accident.

Serious Injury Application

It was clear that her injuries were permanent and had a profound effect on her quality of life. As such, we prepared a serious injury application to the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).

The evidence demonstrated not only the physical limitations caused by her hip and back injuries but also the lasting psychological impact of the accident.

The TAC accepted that our client had sustained a serious injury under the Transport Accident Act and awarded the serious injury certificate.

Our road accident lawyers at Maxiom Injury Lawyers were able to successfully negotiate an out of court settlement of $200,000 in damages for her pain and suffering.

This outcome provided both recognition and relief, allowing her to move forward with security, focus on her recovery.

At Maxiom Injury Lawyers, we are proud to have helped our client achieve the recognition and outcome she deserved.
