Grace was a passenger in her husband’s car when they were involved in an accident on Prince Charles Way in Newtownabbey. The collision occurred when her husband lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a lamppost, causing Grace to sustain injuries.
Grace contacted our car accident solicitors
Shortly after her accident, Grace reached out to Paschal O’Hare Personal Injury Solicitors for assistance. Our experienced car accident solicitors were able to quickly confirm the correct third-party insurer and send a letter of claim on Grace’s behalf.
We arranged for her to be examined by a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who confirmed she had sustained a soft tissue injury to her elbow which resolved within 3 weeks. The specialist confirmed she was suffering from neck, shoulder and lower back pain for which he gave a prognosis of 12-18 months for recovery.
Based on the medical evidence, negotiations began between our solicitors and the third-party insurer. An initial offer of £6,000 was made, but our solicitors were able to negotiate an increased settlement figure of £8,500 – a significant increase from the initial offer. Grace was happy with the settlement and was grateful for the support and dedication of our team throughout the entire process.
