It is often difficult to determine who’s responsible for the hazardous conditions following a spillage on the road when they cause an accident. An unnamed cyclist however, was able to receive an undisclosed amount in compensation from the farm owner after getting stuck in farm waste.

The cyclist who was the front rider on a tandem was travelling past the entrance to a farm on a country road. The road had become covered in all kinds of waste such as silage, manure and mud. As the cyclists rounded a sharp bend, the tandem’s wheels got stuck in the waste, throwing one of the cyclists to the ground that left him with leg and shoulder injuries.

The injured cyclist returned to the scene after the accident and took pictures of the road waste to use as supporting evidence on his personal injury claim.

The photographs of the waste showing a large heap of silage that closed the road and the surface near the entrance that was churned up by large vehicles were shown in court. A highway inspector testified that had he been aware of the road condition, he would have ordered the farmer to clean up the area.

The judge found the farmer liable and awarded the cyclist an undisclosed amount in compensation.

If you have been injured in a road accident that was not your fault and would like to discuss making a compensation claim, contact a personal injury claim solicitors for assistance.
