A judge dismisses a biker’s £5 million compensation claim brought after a road crash in June 2019. Grant Greening-Steer, 51, from New Milton, Hampshire, sued a driver and the driver’s insurer over an incident in which a car reportedly pulled out in front of his Yamaha motorbike. The case focuses on Greening-Steer’s account of his injuries and daily limitations following the collision. Sources report that the court considers evidence presented by both sides, including the extent and nature of the injuries claimed. The judge rejects the claim and characterises Greening-Steer’s testimony as unreliable, describing him as an “unembarrassed liar.” The judgment therefore leaves Greening-Steer without the compensation he sought. The report adds that Greening-Steer claimed he required a mobility scooter and said he could not tie shoelaces after the crash, but the court does not accept these assertions as sufficient to support the pleaded damages.
