Conor was involved in a serious accident when he was working for a manufacturing company in Newtownabbey. He was working on the factory floor when a number of manufactured steel items toppled onto him. He was struck on the head and knocked to the ground.
Conor was taken by ambulance to the Royal Victoria Hospital. He was initially seen in the A&E Department because of the serious nature of his injuries.
As a result of this accident, Conor suffered an injury to his neck, left and right shoulder, low back pain into both hips. In addition, his right knee was sore and gashed. He also sustained a gash to his left thigh and left knee. Furthermore, he had other bodily bruising as well. In the aftermath of the accident, Conor also developed tinnitus as a result of being struck on the head.
Conor contacted our serious injury solicitors
Conor was concerned about his injuries and decided to speak to a solicitor to pursue a claim for compensation against his employer. Paschal O’Hare Personal Injury Solicitors was recommended to him and our solicitors took his case on.
Liability for the accident was quickly admitted by the insurers for the Defendant. In the course of the case multiple medical reports were required from a shoulder expert, an ENT surgeon and a consultant psychiatrist. In addition, it was necessary to procure a report from an occupational therapist to cost out the care which he required from the date of accident to date and going forward. In addition, a financial loss calculation was obtained from a forensic account. High Court proceedings were initiated, and liability was formally admitted.
We entered into negotiations with the Defendant’s insurers. The net result of those negotiations was that Conor’s case settled in the sum of £175,000 plus costs.
Commenting on his case, Conor says: “I cannot thank the team at Paschal O’Hare Solicitors enough for their incredible work in helping me win my personal injury claim. Their expertise and dedication to my case were unparalleled, and I could not achieve such a positive outcome without their help”.
