A mountain biker is suing Chicksands Bike Park C.I.C after an accident on the park’s “Snake Run” left him paralysed from the chest down. Dominic Pearson, 39, from Thetford in Norfolk, claims he suffered serious injuries when he crashed head-first on the expert course on 9 January 2022. He is seeking £200,000 in compensation, describing the incident as traumatic.

According to the report, Pearson alleges the circumstances of the crash resulted in long-term disability, and he is pursuing legal action against the company operating the bike park. The available information does not include details of the park’s response or any findings from investigations or court proceedings. It also does not specify medical assessments beyond his paralysis level. The case centers on Pearson’s account of the crash and his claim for damages tied to the injuries he sustained and their lasting impact.
