Lily was driving along the Doagh Road in Newtownabbey when, without warning, a vehicle suddenly emerged from the Abbott’s Cross shops and collided with her car. A few days later, she sought medical treatment at the Royal Victoria Hospital for her injuries.
Lily Contacted Our Car Accident Solicitors
On the recommendation of a friend, Lily contacted Paschal O’Hare Solicitors. Our team quickly determined that we could assist with her claim for compensation. A letter of claim was promptly sent to the Defendant’s insurance company, and within just one week, we secured an admission of liability.
Lily experienced ongoing pain in her wrists, knees, ankles, neck, back, hip, and right shoulder, as well as symptoms of nervous shock. We gathered medical evidence, including reports from a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Consultant Psychiatrist. The Orthopaedic Surgeon confirmed that Lily had suffered straining injuries to multiple areas, while the Psychiatrist diagnosed her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of the accident.
Successful Negotiation for a Fair Settlement
The completed medical evidence was submitted to the Defendant’s insurance company, and an initial offer of £30,000 was made. After reviewing the offer, we advised Lily to decline it. Our solicitor, Chris, outlined the reasons why the claim’s value was significantly higher. The Defendant accepted our representations, and the offer was significantly increased.
Lily was delighted to accept a final settlement of £37,500.
