Ryan was driving on the Ballynashee Road near Ballyclare when a vehicle suddenly emerged from a junction and collided with his car. The impact caused significant damage, resulting in Ryan’s vehicle crashing into a telegraph pole and travelling over a wall. He was promptly taken by ambulance to Antrim Area Hospital.
Ryan Contacted Our Car Accident Solicitors
Following the accident, Ryan contacted Paschal O’Hare Solicitors. Having previously worked with our solicitor, Christopher McAllister, Ryan trusted him to handle his compensation claim.
Chris quickly identified that a claim could be pursued and traced the third-party vehicle’s insurance. A letter of claim detailing the incident was sent, and within six weeks, an admission of liability was secured from the third-party insurer.
Medical records were gathered, and Ryan was examined by a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. The report detailed that Ryan suffered from generalised musculoskeletal bruising and sprains across his body, a significant injury to his sternum, and various lacerations to his hands and legs. The injuries resulted in a notable reduction in his recreational activities, with a recovery prognosis of 18 months. A Consultant Plastic Surgeon documented areas of scarring.
Upon receipt of the medical reports, Chris engaged in negotiations with the third-party insurer. An initial offer of £26,000 was made, but through persistent negotiations, Chris secured an increased settlement of £31,000, which Ryan was pleased to accept.
