Denise was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a road traffic collision in Ballymoney. The collision was caused by another driver who left the scene without providing any details. Despite enquiries, the PSNI were unable to trace the driver or identify an insurance policy.
As a result of the collision, Denise sustained soft tissue injuries to her neck and wrist. She also suffered psychological injury following the accident, which had an ongoing impact on her wellbeing.
Paschal O’Hare Solicitors Took On Her Claim
Denise contacted Paschal O’Hare Solicitors for advice after learning that the other driver could not be identified. Her claim was handled by Solicitor Amy Brady, who submitted an application to the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, the body responsible for compensating victims of untraced drivers.
The MIB accepted responsibility for dealing with Denise’s claim. To ensure the full impact of her injuries was properly documented, we arranged medical assessments with both a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Consultant Psychiatrist. These reports confirmed the nature of Denise’s physical injuries and the psychological harm she experienced as a result of the collision.
Following negotiations with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, Denise’s claim was successfully settled. She received £22,500 in compensation for her physical injuries and psychological suffering.
Solicitor Amy Brady Commented
“Denise was left in a very difficult position through no fault of her own. Being involved in a collision and then having the driver leave the scene can be deeply distressing. The medical evidence clearly showed the effect this accident had on both her physical health and her mental well-being. We are pleased to have secured a settlement that properly reflects the impact this had on her.”
