Geoff gets $1.4 million compensation following a life-changing motorbike accident.

12 August 2024

Geoff’s life took a sudden turn when a car collided with his motorcycle on the way home from work. The at-fault vehicle took an illegal right turn, driving across double white lines before colliding with Geoff’s bike from the side.

The impact left Geoff with severe injuries: two fractures in his right ankle requiring pins and plates, and nerve damage in his lower back resulting from a lumbar spine injury.

As an experienced construction machine operator, Geoff earned a high income, but returning to his normally physically demanding job was now impossible.

Geoff was uncertain about his future, and suffering greatly both physically and mentally, unable to work or manage domestic tasks at home with his wife and son. Fortunately, Geoff decided to reach out to Law Partners for advice, hoping to find some kind of positive resolution during this very difficult time.

We listened and took time to understand the full impact of Geoff’s injuries on his life, which was truly significant. Together we discussed all of Geoff’s options, and then we got started on his case.

How we helped Geoff get maximum compensation

Winning a case begins with deepening our relationship with each client. We got to know Geoff and his family more personally and documented how much their lives had changed since the accident. Geoff had loved cooking meals for his family, and taking his kids to play in the park. But even such simple activities were too painful, and now off limits.

We gathered detailed statements and medical reports as case evidence and took our arguments to the insurer to go after maximum compensation.

Initially, the insurer wasn’t convinced that Geoff’s injuries were severe enough. But we persevered to secure the result we knew Geoff deserved. Typically, in cases like this, insurance companies tend to dispute findings, which can lead to legal battles involving barristers and courtrooms. But our thorough preparation and persistence, backed by medical reports and evidence, convinced the insurance company to come to the table.

The result for Geoff was excellent. By emphasising the physical and psychological impact of Geoff’s injuries, the insurer agreed with our findings, and we got Geoff and his family a payout of $1.4 million to help them move forward in life.

“The last two years has been a time of complete upheaval and trauma. The physical and mental toll has been huge. While my family life will never be quite the same, it feels like we at least have closure now and can start to look ahead,” says Geoff. “We’re so grateful to our lawyer, Minaa Mohmand and the rest of the Law Partners team who never gave up and worked so hard to get us the biggest payout possible. I call that great service and a great commitment to clients that I’d highly recommend to anyone in need.”
