Damages for cyclist hit by bus

A man who was injured when he was knocked from his bicycle by a bus has been awarded £15,000. He was cycling when a bus overtook him and began to pull in towards a bus stop. As the bus pulled into the bus stop it knocked the man from his bicycle onto the road. He sustained a soft tissue injury to his right knee and underwent surgery as a result. Medical evidence concluded that he had suffered a three to five year acceleration in respect of a pre existing knee condition.
