Grace was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her husband in Belfast when it collided with another car, causing the airbags to deploy. The accident resulted in significant injuries for Grace, including soft tissue injuries to her neck and back, a fracture of her T12 vertebra, and bruising of the chest wall. She spent five weeks as an inpatient at the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) and required further rehabilitation in another hospital after her discharge, approximately two months later. Despite extensive treatment, Grace’s doctor advised that the level of pain she experienced at the point of examination, two years post-accident, would be permanent.
Grace Reached Out to Our Passenger Accident Solicitors
Concerned about her injuries, Grace contacted Paschal O’Hare Personal Injury Solicitors shortly after her accident. Our solicitor, recognising the severity of the situation, promptly initiated the claims process. Medical evaluations by specialists outlined the long-term impact of Grace’s injuries.
Initially, the insurer’s offer of £35,000 did not reflect the extent of Grace’s injuries or the ongoing impact on her life. Our team, committed to securing a just outcome, engaged in rigorous negotiations. Armed with detailed medical reports and a clear representation of Grace’s hardships, we successfully negotiated a revised settlement of £100,000, to Grace’s satisfaction.
