Andrea’s car accident claim settles for £5,000 (Comber)

During the build up to Christmas, Andrea was leaving a car park in Comber, Co. Down after spending the day in the quaint town. Unfortunately, another motorist reversed at speed from a parking bay. The motorist collided with Andrea’s car, leaving her both shaken and injured. The accident caused Andrea to suffer injury to her neck, back and shoulders. She experienced further pain in her hand and forearm. Thankfully, she was wearing her seatbelt and avoided further possible injury.

Legal proceedings should be issued

Liability was quickly admitted by the defendant’s insurance company. A medical report was obtained by Paschal O’Hare Solicitors from a consultant orthopaedic surgeon who believed our client would suffer from her injuries for a period of 18 months. The firm entered negotiations with the defendant’s insurer who offered £3500 in compensation. This was immediately rejected. A further offer of £4000 was made which again was rejected. We advised our client that legal proceedings should be issued to obtain a proper and fair level of compensation. We issued the proceedings and were met with an offer of £5000 in compensation. This was accepted by our client and the case settled for that amount plus costs. This firm was pleased to have provided Andrea with some emotional relief over a busy Christmas period.
