Kian was stopped in traffic on Mallusk Road, Newtownabbey when another vehicle collided with the rear of his car at approximately 40mph. The impact caused his vehicle to be shunted into the car ahead and struck again. He attended Antrim Area Hospital in the following weeks with complaints about headaches, dizziness, and tinnitus. He experienced headaches and concussive symptoms for around two months.
Kian Contacted Our Car Accident Solicitors
Following the accident, Kian contacted Paschal O’Hare Solicitors for assistance with making a compensation claim. Partner Seymour Major took on Kian’s case and promptly identified that a claim could be pursued. We secured a Consultant ENT Surgeon’s report, which confirmed that Kian suffered from moderate tinnitus, likely to be permanent, along with persistent headaches and concussive symptoms that lasted around two months.
We gathered comprehensive medical evidence detailing Kian’s injuries and their impact on his daily life. This included his persistent symptoms and the prognosis of permanent tinnitus. The medical evidence was then served on the third-party insurers.
Our solicitors engaged in detailed negotiations with the third-party insurer. Through persistent efforts, we secured an initial offer which, after further negotiation, resulted in a final settlement of £30,000. Kian accepted this settlement, which provided him with the necessary compensation for his injuries and ongoing condition.
