Fractured spine cyclist back in saddle

 

28th March 2006

Sigmasport RT member Mike Harrison has successfully resolved his claim for compensation following a career-threatening road accident in July 2004. Mike suffered a fracture to his spine when a motorist pulled out from a side street as he was out training, rendering him immobile in hospital for several weeks and then unable to work for several months.

 

Mike's grit and determination saw him back in the saddle and driving towards a great level of recovery, evident by his fantastic performance in the British Road Race Championships in June 2005.

 

Mike's case was fully supported and funded by British Cycling and conducted by Sue Bence, partner in the cycling and sports injuries team at Leigh Day & Co solicitors.
