A personal injury partner at Slee Blackwell in North Devon, has secured a £15,000 settlement for a Barnstaple man who suffered multiple fractures in a motorbike accident.

Reuben Densham, who now lives in Bideford, was riding his motorbike in Fremington when a car driven by Christina Martin pulled into his path from Beechfield Road. He was thrown over the bonnet, breaking his arm, leg, some ribs, and base of his spine. He was on his way to be assessed for new job that very morning and his injuries meant he lost that opportunity.

Mr Densham has fortunately made a good recovery from his injuries and hopes to buy a new motorbike to enable him to get to work. He also intends to put some of the money aside for treats for his children.
