Ellington Resolves Crash Case with Out-of-Court Settlement.

Posted 5 months ago

James Ellington, a retired British sprinter, recently reached an out-of-court settlement following a life-altering motorbike accident in 2017.

After a serious accident during a motorbike ride in Tenerife, the 38-year-old athlete, who had competed in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, suffered severe injuries including a broken leg and pelvis.

Despite this setback, he returned to training in 2019 with hopes of participating in the 2020 Olympics. However, due to ongoing health challenges, he had to retire from professional athletics last year.

Reflecting on the accident, the athlete acknowledged the impact it had on his life but also expressed gratitude for surviving such a traumatic event. He remained positive and focused on moving forward, especially now that the legal proceedings related to the incident have been resolved.

Thanks to a substantial settlement from the motor insurance company involved, the athlete received financial support for his rehabilitation and compensation for the premature end of his sports career.

It's worth noting that the settlement was specifically with the insurance company and not with his teammate, who was also involved in the accident but had no legal responsibility in this case.
