Mary was involved in a car accident when she was driving through County Down. Her vehicle came to a set of traffic lights and she stopped her vehicle for the red light. When the lights turned to green, she started to move her vehicle when she was struck on the front driver’s side of her vehicle by an oncoming motorist who failed to obey the red light governing them.
Mary sustained soft various tissue injuries as a result of her accident.
Mary contacted Paschal O’Hare Personal Injury Solicitors
Once Mary consulted with one of our solicitors, we successfully and quickly obtained the insurance details for the third party driver. We advised the insurer of our client’s injuries and our intention to seek compensation on her behalf. Liability was accepted by the third party driver. At our request, Mary was examined by both a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Consultant Psychiatrist who set out in their reports, the full extent of Mary’s injuries and the resulting physical and emotional impact to her.
Once medical evidence was served, negotiations ensued between the insurers and our office. Using our legal knowledge and negotiating skills, we were able to persuade the insurers to increase their initial valuation of the case and the case eventually settled in the sum of £18,000.
