LEGL1001 Sample Letter To Client (Assessment 2)
Thank you for meeting with us last week to discuss your legal options following your son Simon’s
rollerblading injury. We write to confirm your instructions and to set out the key legal issues in your
case. Commented [GD7]: Introductory paragraph
You explained that your 10-year-old son Simon was rollerblading at Coolangatta Beach when he was
struck from behind by a cyclist. Simon was not wearing a protective helmet and he sustained head
injuries. We understand that the local council recently changed the signage, so that cyclists and
rollerbladers now share a lane on the path; previously, cyclists had their own lane. Your legal action
against the cyclist for negligence was successful. However, the court reduced the damages that it
awarded to Simon by 70% because he was not wearing a helmet while rollerblading.
Yours sincerely
Alex Skye
