A court in London has ruled that a 43-year-old from Hampshire is entitled to keep his no win, no fee motorbike accident compensation, quashing an appeal by a motor insurance company which had sought to prove that the claimant acted fraudulently, alleging that he exaggerated the extent of his injuries.
However, at the High Court in London, a judge ruled that the former construction worker's injuries were indeed "severe and life threatening" and had led to him suffering on-going pain and psychiatric difficulties.
The appeal had originally been initiated by the insurer after it received a "tip off" from a neighbour that the claimant might have acted fraudulently.
The judge said that at the time of the first ruling the motorbike accident compensation claimant had been "determined to try to walk unaided and may have been confident that somehow he would succeed in doing so, but he did not dishonestly conceal from the court or the expert witnesses his then true state of disability or dishonestly emphasise his disability."
Speaking after the motorbike accident compensation ruling the claimant expressed his anger and upset that the insurance company "made a tragedy more painful and extreme".
"I can't forgive them for what they have put me through," he added.
