'It was an incredibly challenging period in my life': Council pays cyclist five-figure settlement over 'harrowing' pothole crash cycling
A cyclist received a five-figure settlement from Essex County Council after suffering multiple fractures and other injuries in a crash caused by a pothole.
Mr Millward explained how he had lost the confidence to cycle to work once he did return, calling the recovery"incredibly challenging"."It was an incredibly challenging period in my life," he said."At the time of the incident, my wife and I had just bought a new home that needed work. We had a young child, and our second one was on the way.
The cyclist was helped by Thompsons Solicitors, legal support funded by his union, and secured a settlement claim against Essex County Council after the local authority admitted partial liability. "It’s also had a harmful impact on his young family, creating huge stress and uncertainty for them. I'm pleased that we could secure a positive outcome for him and his family so they can move on with their lives."
