I'm just speculating out of my arse on the assumption that there must be something in it for her despite them having similar injuries.
So 50-50 is a bad outcome for them, you think they expected more?

50/50 in these circumstances, a personal injury claim rather than a damage to property claim is a very poor outcome for the injured party, it’s rare that a judge would put that much culpability on the injury party.
Her solicitors won’t be bothered are they will get there full costs now, as long as he has some kind of liability cover and as I say I doubt it would have got to this point if he didn’t have some cover.
The 50/5o judgement also means that she is responsible for 50% of his damages too, so if he has a medical report that says he has worse injuries than she does then she’ll owe him money.

Even the most minor concussion would get somewhere in the region of £2,000. Perhaps the cyclist will be able to show he has greater injuries/ losses and she’ll end up owning him money.
