Summary of the Claim
Our client was injured while travelling as a passenger in a vehicle involved in a serious road traffic accident. The driver lost control of the vehicle, which then collided with a static object. As a result of the collision, the client suffered fracture injuries along with bruising and grazing. The accident also caused significant psychological distress.
JF Law pursued a claim on the client’s behalf and successfully secured £55,000 in compensation. The case was handled by Tracy Chick.
Background To The Case
The accident occurred when the vehicle our client was travelling in lost control and struck an object. The impact caused our client to sustain multiple injuries, including fractures, as well as bruising and grazing. In addition to the physical injuries, the incident was particularly distressing because the client's child was also present in the vehicle at the time of the collision.
Following the accident, the client faced both the physical effects of her injuries and the emotional impact of what had happened.
How We Investigated The Claim
We gathered evidence relating to the circumstances of the collision and the injuries our client had sustained. Our evidence-led approach included:
- Obtaining medical evidence to confirm the extent of the fractures and physical trauma.
- Documenting the significant psychological impact the accident had on the client.
- Developing a clear picture of how the incident affected her health, wellbeing, and daily life.
This evidence allowed us to present a clear picture of how the accident had affected her health, wellbeing and ability to continue with her day-to-day life.
The Result We Secured
The claim was successfully settled before court proceedings were issued, providing a swift resolution for the client. The outcome included:
- £55,000 in compensation for the client
- A settlement reached prior to the need for formal court proceedings
This ensured that the client received compensation without the added stress of litigation, allowing her to focus on her recovery.
Our Analysis Of The Case
The client was understandably keen to resolve the matter as quickly as possible so she could focus on her recovery and caring for her young family. As a self-employed young mother, she wanted to bring the claim to a conclusion at the earliest opportunity.
We invited settlement discussions and secured an offer that the client was extremely pleased with. The settlement allowed the client to move forward after what had been a distressing experience.
