Amy Ratter

Amy Ratter was riding her Yamaha RD350 between Lerwick and Sumburgh.  She was in collision with a pedestrian who had emerged from an embankment onto the road.  The pedestrian collided with the left handlebar of Amy’s motorcycle.  Amy sustained serious injury to her arm affecting her ability to work.

The pedestrian sued Amy but Amy remained adamant that the accident had not been her fault.  Amy instructed Digby Brown to raise her own action. The case proceeded to a full hearing in the Court of Session after the pedestrian had settled her own case out of Court. 

Amy was accepted by the Judge as a credible and reliable witness not prone to exaggeration.  It was also accepted that the pedestrian had walked into the path of the motorcycle ridden by Amy with no fault at all on the part of Amy.  The award came to £184,728 which was met by the pedestrian’s household contents insurers.

“What Digby Brown did for me I did not expect in my wildest dreams.I knew it was not my fault but I needed help from a lawyer experienced in this field. I was exonerated and the money was a fantastic bonus. My bike is being reconstructed and I will be riding again- I would certainly recommend Digby Brown to any motorcyclist"
