Nathan Tavares KC of Outer Temple Chambers is acting on behalf Dr Daniel Gordon who is seeking compensation of £10 million against Arch and Chubb insurers after his brand-new “gravel” bike (Planet X Tempest SRAM Force) split into two on a grass slope in August 2020, leaving him paralysed from the waist down.
The Planet X bike, costing £2300, was described as a “flowingly fast and comfortably confident titanium gravel bike that gives you the freedom to ride wherever you want.” As Planet X became insolvent in 2023, Dr Gordon made his claim against its two insurers, Arch Insurance (UK) Limited and Chubb European Group SE for the expenses he incurred as a result of his life-changing injuries and subsequent financial losses.
Nathan is instructed by Julian Chamberlayne and James Griffin of Stewarts Law.

The case has been covered widely by the media:
Nathan Tavares KC specialises in clinical negligence, catastrophic personal injury claims, product liability, and professional negligence. He is regarded by solicitors and opponents interviewed by the legal directories for having “sound judgment“, “an industrious approach“, “a measured and independent perspective“, and “a good approachable manner“. He is noted to be “a versatile and quick-thinking communicator“. “He is very hard-working, conscientious and intellectually very strong.” “He is very good on the mechanics of an accident and he is very experienced on brain and spinal injury cases.”
Nathan has acted in some of the highest value actions in his field, for example, Collier v Norton where he represented a tetraplegic teenager whose claim is currently believed to be the largest approved settlement of its kind (in excess of £20 million), as well as Williams v Brown with damages agreed in excess of £10 million.
